Dead XMas tree Pickup ? [Basel area]

Wibble · #1 04.01.2009, 16:49

Hey,

What's the score with putting Christmas Trees out in the rubbish?

Supposedly last year there was a pickup especially for them, but it doesn't seem to be on any local calendars. Is there a specific date for this (in BL)?

thanks,
(Mr)Wibble

I don't know about pick-ups, but check with any local stables, some horses love to chew on fir tree branches, it's their New Year treat

at our place (wettingen) they will pick them up on the same day as the "green collection".

I'm in Basel-Stadt and found this link:

My German isn't that great, but I think it means they collect on the regular rubbish day (? please correct me if I'm wrong)

We're going to look tomorrow pm to see if anyone has put their trees out or not...

Yes, you can drop off your tree with a maximum of 2 meters in length, for free
in the normal garbage collection. This only in Basel-Stadt.

Thanks Scott - I'll put the tree out on Tues then

Sorry to hijack your thread Wibble - hope you get a definitive answer.

Rangatiranui has the right answer. Check with your community to determine
when the Green-Pickup will be. In my community, the Green-Pickup should be
reduced to a maximum of 1 meter. This may be different for the Christmas
trees.

Our landlord as just posted on our fromt door that we can put our trees out on the 12th and they will be collected for free.
