Where to recycle your Christmas tree
Galway’s local authorities will provide a Christmas tree recycling service this month, with drop off points around the city and county where people can deposit their trees for recycling.
The sites will be open during normal office hours.
In the city, trees can be delivered to the Barna/Lough Rusheen city council depot on the Barna Road, and the Merlin Park depot in Doughiska. The service is available this week until Saturday, and from Monday January 7 to Friday January 11.
