RESIDENTS in High Wycombe are being urged to recycle their Christmas trees.

Garden centres across Bucks have joined forces with Wycombe District Council to reduce the number of trees thrown away.

Trees can be shredded at Notcutts Garden Centre in Booker, where money-off vouchers are being given away. They can also be taken until the end of January to West Wycombe Garden Centre, Jardinerie Garden Place in Studley Green and Bourne End Garden Centre.

The council's rangers will use the material in local woodlands.
