Christmas tree collection: This is how clubs in the region help!

In the period after the holidays, many arises as to how Christmas trees can best be disposed of. The trees have already disappeared in the Coesfeld district, but numerous clubs, groups and associations have come together to efficiently collect the trees and thus make a contribution to sustainable waste management. This reports Radio Kiepenkerl .

The collections are large in the entire city area. The country jugs from Lüdinghausen and Seppenrade are particularly active, which not only collect the trees, but also want to do good. For example, the Seppenrade rural youth collect for the outpatient children's and youth hospice service in Haltern and for a planned star children's gravity in their village. Another campaign is organized by the football youth in Olfen and the Landjugend Ascheberg, who collect money for a trampling tractor for a kindergarten.

wide commitment to the environment

The commitment is not only shown in Coesfeld. There are also numerous collection campaigns in other regions of the area. The local associations collect Christmas trees on January 11, 2024, which must be visible on the street on January 11, 2024. A small donation is desired. Voluntary helpers from various organizations work together in closer ones, including the volunteer fire brigade and the elementary school support association.

In other municipalities, such as Dreyen and Enger-Mitte, the local fire department departments also take over the collection campaign. Particularly noteworthy is the collection in Hiddenhausen and Oetinghausen, which takes place on January 10th and 11th, 2025. Here it is important to take the trees clearly visible.

donations and social projects

The collections are often also associated with calls for donations for social projects. In many places such as Obernbeck, Mennighüffen and Siemshof, the parishes became active to collect Christmas trees and collect donations. In the cities of Löhne and Rödinghausen, it is also necessary to point out the need that the tree collections have to take place in the context of disposal.

As can be seen from further information, Christmas trees in many municipalities can also be handed over at collection sites. These must be free of any decoration to ensure proper disposal. If you want to learn more about the possibilities of disposal, you can contact the waste management companies of the respective regions directly. In Esslingen, for example, Christmas trees can be handed over free of charge at all green cutting points, as can be read on the website of District Esslingen
