City scraps Christmas tree collection

SPECIAL collection points for Christmas trees have been scrapped in Waterford because some unscrupulous people have abused the system over the years.

Householders are also being warned not to put their full tree out for collection with their brown, organic bin. Trees being thrown out should instead be brought to civic amenity sites in the county.

No special pick-up points have been set up this year and householders in the city should bring their disused Christmas trees to the composting facility at the Sixcrossroads - not the Kilbarry site.
