Our recycling policy

It has always been our policy to encourage Needlefresh Christmas tree customers to act responsibly when it comes to disposing of their Christmas trees. If you can dispose of your Christmas tree at home using a chipper shredder to make garden mulch please do so, when it comes to the environment - every little bit helps.

Chipper shredders are available from most outlets that sell Christmas trees and once you have one you will be amazed at how much use they are in the garden.

If you do not have facilities at home, ask when you buy your Needlefresh Christmas tree, many Garden Centres  offer Christmas tree recycling facilities, alternatively contact the recycling officer at your local authority for advice.

our environmental responsibilities

For many years the Christmas tree Growers of Europe have sustained an environmental awareness. By necessity they have planted at least 3 trees to every one harvested. Much of the land now cultivated with Christmas trees was unsustainable for other crops including Larger hard an softwood treees. The trees have helped to knit together the meager soil so that it can re establish its fertility. The trees naturally provide an environment for wildlife and many species of birds, animals and insects have established their own ecosystems amongst the crop.
