Norfolk locals can get Christmas trees shredded into wood chips
The wood chips can be used as a chemical free form of weed suppressant
People in King's Lynn and Hunstanton are being encouraged to turn their unwanted Christmas Trees into eco-friendly wood chippings.
Natural wood chipping can be used as a chemical free form of weed suppressant or can be used to improve soil structure.
The borough council's running shredding events on Saturday at Hunstanton Recreation Ground and Gaywood Plant Nursery in King's Lynn.
Authorities say only one tree is permitted per household and that decorations should be removed from the tree before it's shredded.
Brown bin customers can dispose of real Christmas trees in their brown bins - if the tree does not fit in the bin it can be placed beside it on collection day.
Christmas trees can also be taken to one of Norfolk County Council’s recycling centres.
