Recycling your tree

SICK of getting nasty Christmas tree needles in your car? Then let the scouts take your tree away and help the environment.Shelley Scouts will once again be out and about recycling Christmas trees on Sunday, January 6. Last year the group recycled more than 100 trees and this year it will continue collecting Christmas trees from the Shelley, Shepley, Kirkburton and Highburton areas of Huddersfield. The trees are recycled by shredding and mulching. A donation of £5 towards the group’s fundraising initiative secures your collection. The funds will help pay for the general running costs of the group which has more than 25 Beavers, 25 Cubs and 20 Scouts. Bookings are being taken up to January 5. To book a collection, call 07742 897772 or email xmastrees@shelleyscouts.com
