Recycle your Christmas tree for free: Nine drop off locations set up across Kilkenny

Plans are already in motion for the collection and composting of Kilkenny’s Christmas trees.

Kilkenny County Council has set nine temporary tree drop-off locations around the county. Trees can also be dropped off at the local authority’s two civic amenity sites at Dunmore and Grannagh.

The temporary sites will be opened from January 4 to January 18 and will be located at the following sites.

• Fair Green Car Park, Graiguenamanagh;
• Adjacent to the Bottle Banks in Bennettsbridge;
• Quay Car Park, Thomastown;
• Supervalu Car Park, Callan;
• Piltown Pound Car Park, Piltown;
• Entrance to Assumption Place, Urlingford;
• The Square, Freshford;
• Fair Green, Ballyragget;
• Castlecomer Council Yard, Donaguile.

All the trees will be chipped and composted and there will be no charge to drop off your tree up until January 18. After then, there a charge may be applied for bringing a tree to a centre.
