DEH: Don’t dump your Christmas tree, let us shred it

To avoid trees being sent to the landfill, the Department of Environmental Health is offering its annual mulching programme again.

The Department of Environmental Health is inviting the public to deposit their natural Christmas trees at drop-off points around Grand Cayman from early in the new year.

Collection bins will be placed at several locations across the islands from 2 Jan. in a bid to reduce the amount of waste entering the George Town landfill. The bins will be in place until 31 Jan.

They can be found at:

  • Ed Bush Stadium, West Bay
  • George Town Cricket Field
  • George Town Landfill public drop-off area
  • Spotts Dock
  • The entrance of Frank Sound Rd

Residents are reminded to remove all wires, lights, ornaments and stands from Christmas trees before they are placed into collection bins.

The trees will later be shredded and free mulch will be made available to members of the public.
