Christmas tree shredding event 2025

Residents will once again be able to have their real Christmas tree turned into chippings at one of the borough council’s shredding events on Saturday 4th January 2025.

Natural wood chipping can be used as a chemical free form of weed suppressant or can be used to improve soil structure, making the most of unwanted Christmas trees.

The events are free for residents and take place as follows:

Saturday 4^th January - 9am - 12 noon Hunstanton Recreation Ground car park – PE36 6DZ

Saturday 4^th January - 1 pm - 3 pm King’s Lynn, Gaywood Plant Nursery, Gayton Road – PE30 4EE

Please make sure that all decorations are removed from the tree before it is taken for shredding.

Brown bin customers can also 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.
