In Lviv, Christmas trees are processed into compost for the third year in a row

In Lviv, residents and guests of the city handed over 400 kilograms of Christmas trees to the composting station for processing.

Trees can be brought to the composting station yourself or left at one of the 7 collection points, reports "Green City" on Facebook.

The message emphasized that Christmas trees are bulky waste and household waste containers are not designed for this type of waste. And at the composting station, the trees will be crushed, mixed with other organic waste and turned into compost.

Residents were urged to remove all decorations so that their remains would not end up in the compost during recycling.
