    Just about to go out and buy me a christmas tree (a real one),

    Just wondering what my fellow boardsies do to get rid of it when the happy jolly season is over? Dunno what or how im gonna get rid of the thing, It comes in a net so its quite compact when bringing it my house but its impossible to get the net back on without the machine they use!

    There's usually a local council yard you can take them to for free.

    Greystones have a central location where everyone can deposit their old tree free of charge.

    Stick it down in the garden, and next year, decorate it for an outside Xmas Tree!

    Leave it to dry in the basement for a month or two, then cut it up and burn it. Lovely smell!

    Most councils will chip them if you bring it to their yard on the 7th Jan

    Leaving it up until June/July is an option..
    Then you can easily remove one stick like object from the room..

    Not great for your hoovers' lifespan though!

    By basement do you mean, the cubby under the stairs.

    Last 2 years we did the knackery thing, and threw it over the back garden wall. There's only a ditch there, so no one was going to see it. This year "the man" who collects them for €5 will be taking it off us. I couldnt cope with having to put the thing in my car and drive it to the council's recycling centre.
