About this deal
In Newport, you can either place your tree in your garden waste bin for when collections resume in March or cut it up and take it to your local household recycling centre.
Zero landfill is more than just a catchphrase. Every year, Nantycaws Recycling Centre diverts a whopping 21,000 tons of general waste away from landfills, which is then converted into RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel), generating electricity for up to 10,000 homes. The council has also said that anyone who takes their real Christmas tree to one of these recycling centres in January will receive a bag of ‘Merlin’s Magic Compost’ free of charge.Merlin’s magic compost is screened to 2 different sizes, 10mm that is generally supplied in 40l bags and is a good general-purpose compost suitable for pots and young plants. 25mm screened compost contains everything that 10mm has but with the addition of slightly larger woody material which aids drainage, perfect for beds, mulching and larger projects. Real Christmas trees can be chopped up to fit in your garden waste bags as long as they're not too heavy. Alternatively they can be taken to your local recycling centre to place in the garden waste skip. Say goodbye to boring paint!
