In the Gard, natural Christmas trees are recycled into mulch or animal bedding

Nîmes métropole propose des parcs à sapins. M. A.

After Christmas, it's time to get rid of your tree. In the Terre d'Argence community of communes, with the Boucle d'or association in Jonquières-Saint-Vincent, natural trees are recycled into mulch or bedding for the animals on the educational farm.

That's it, the Christmas holidays are over! And now what do we do with the tree ? Some will meticulously strip the artificial tree of its decorations and garlands and relegate it to its original box in the attic, until next year. Others will desperately wait until there is not a single needle left to wonder what to do with the real tree ?

91 tree parks in the Nîmes metropolitan area

Nîmes Métropole offers tree parks until January 26. The municipalities of Bernis, Bezouce, Caissargues, Caveirac, Clarensac, Fons-outre-Gardon, Gajan, Garons, Générac, La Calmette, Lédenon, Manduel, Marguerittes, Milhaud, Montignargues, Moulézan, Poulx, Redessan, Saint-Bauzély, Saint-Côme-et-Maruéjols, Saint-Gilles, Sainte-Anastasie and Sauzet invite you to drop off your tree in one of the 91 tree parks open seven days a week and twenty-four hours a day.

Mulch or litter with the Terre d’Argence community of municipalities

The Terre d’Argence community of municipalities also offers to collect Christmas trees, until January 15, in order to give them a second use. It provides a collection point for trees on Place Batisto-Bonnet, in Bellegarde. Only natural trees are accepted (without bags, stands, decorations and/or artificial snow).

For the animals of the educational farm

These collected trees will join the Boucle d'or educational farm in Jonquières-Saint-Vincent to be transformed into mulch, litter and food for the animals collected and pampered by this non-profit association.
