It’s true the blog hasn’t been so busy recently but you can’t ever tell me I don’t give you the best local news 😛
Every year there’s always one person left wondering what on earth do I do with my Christmas tree!!!
Fear not!!! The Nantes Today investigative journalism team (me and my cat) are at it again.
https://metropole.nantes.fr/collectesapins
The trees get recycled (shredded and used to mulch the city’s parks and garden beds)
1750 trees collected in 2017 … 4350 trees collected in 2018 … 4344 collected in 2019 … who knows what this year will bring between lockdowns / confinements. Any guesses on the numbers that will be collected?
So if you’ve got a car you can bring your tree to the decheterie if you don’t there may be a collection point nearer than you think
