Local residents are being urged to recycle their Christmas trees at Xtreme Recycling Event on Sat January 6 at Hinchingbrooke Country Park.
The day is designed to stop Christmas trees ending up in landfill sites and at the same time raise funds for the Hinchingbrooke Hospital Special Care Baby Unit.

People can take their Xmas trees to Hinchingbrooke Country Park between 10.30am and 2.30pm for Gavin – who owns East Anglia Tree Care - to shred into chippings. People will also be able to take their chippings home and compost them. Any left over will be used at the park.

The shredding service is free, but people will be encouraged to make a donation of £1 and funds raised will go to Hinchingbrooke Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) to help meet the cost of a breathing monitor which costs approx £600.
