RESIDENTS can do their bit for the environment with Gateshead Borough Council's Christmas tree recycling scheme.
In the past two years, residents in the borough have recycled almost 5,000 natural Christmas trees, over 40 tonnes in total, which was then used for the upkeep and repair of public rural footpaths across the borough.
For more details about the scheme, call Gateshead Borough Council on 0191 477 2400.
