The Christmas tree is a popular symbol of Christmas. Wonderfully decorated, Christmas it introduces a special, sublime atmosphere to the house and makes every interior look even more cozy.
However, all good things come to an end, and when the holidays are over and another year begins, many people wonder what to do with a real Christmas tree. We advise you where to return it to avoid getting fined.
Improper disposal of a live tree after the holidays can cost us dearly. Abandoning a tree in an unauthorized place (e.g. in the forest) may result in a fine of no less than PLN 500.
Christmas trees cannot be abandoned in public places. You can’t burn it in a home fireplace either. Moreover, even if we want to throw it into green waste, it must first be stripped of its decorations, the plastic pot (if there was one) removed and shredded. Failure to comply with applicable rules may result in severe punishment.
A potted tree can be planted in the ground as long as it has a healthy root system. If someone does not have a plot of land, and therefore does not have a similar option in their area, they can plant it somewhere else. All you need to do is agree it with the land manager. Christmas trees can be put up for adoption. Such advertisements can be easily found on the Internet.
A cut Christmas tree can be treated as green waste. If we shred it, it can go into the brown bio-waste container. It is also worth following information about collection of Christmas trees. Cities often organize them. It is best to ask the estate administration about the dates.
The safe solution is always to give back to PSZOK. The Selective Municipal Waste Collection Point also accepts Christmas trees that have not been shredded. However, we have to take care of the transport of the Christmas tree ourselves.
Artificial Christmas trees they are very convenient because they can be used for many years. However, they also lose their aesthetic appearance over time. If it’s time to say goodbye to your artificial Christmas tree, it’s worth knowing how to get rid of it properly.
Artificial Christmas trees should not be disposed of in plastic, metal or plastic containers. Let’s treat large trees as bulky waste. Smaller items can be placed in the bin intended for mixed waste.
