Recycle your Christmas tree with Douglas Council

There's a chance to help a local authority as well as get rid of your Christmas tree this weekend.

Douglas Council says households can drop off their trees at any one of eight locations this Saturday, where they'll be collected for free.

The trees will then be chipped and laid down in the council's parks and gardens and at Summerhill Glen.

The locations are: the TT Grandstand car park, Governor's Hill play area, opposite Snaefell Road, Stevenson's Way in Farmhill, Anagh Coar car park, outside the Pulrose council workshop, opposite the Palace Hotel, and the Lord Street Car Park.

You can find out more on the council's Facebook page.
