Recycle Your Christmas Cards!

Woodland Trust Christmas Card Recycling 2011

Woodland Trust Christmas Card Recycling 2010

2011 will be the last year that the Woodland Trust will be running their Christmas card recycling scheme.

This year, once again it will be even easier to recycle those cards. Branches of TK Maxx, Homesense and Marks & Spencer will provide collection bins for cards at stores across the country throughout January.

After Christmas the trust are asking as many people as possible to vote for where they would like trees paid for by the scheme to be planted in their area. Just visit www.moretreesmoregood.org.uk/cards and follow the simple steps to register your vote.

This tree planting push will support the Trust's More Trees, More Good campaign, which aims to see 20 million native trees being planted in the UK each year, which would help the Trust move one step closer to achieving it's long-term goal of doubling native woodland cover.  

  • Recycling helps to tackle climate change. Waste sent to landfill can create methane – a powerful greenhouse gas. If we all recycle just one card this Christmas this would save 1,570 tonnes of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases – the same as taking 500 cars off the road for a year.
  • Recycling cards makes people think about consumer waste – particularly relevant at Christmas.
  • 73.6 million cards were recycled by the scheme in 2008.
