Amberg-Sulzbach district is looking for large Christmas trees for the district office!

In the contemplative pre-Christmas period, the district of Amberg-Sulzbach is looking for two magnificent Christmas trees for the district office. The trees they are looking for are not only a nice sight, they also contribute to the festive atmosphere. In demand, a 10 meter high tree for the courtyard and an approximately 5 meter high tree for the balcony of the district administrator are. The felling and the subsequent transport are taken over free of charge by the employees of the building yard. The prerequisite is that the property can be reached with a truck. Interested owners can contact their Christmas trees by email bauhof@amberg-sulzbach.de offer and, if possible, send a photo of the tree. The selection is made based on the location and the shape of the trees, such as Oberpfalzecho.de reported.

As with every Christmas tree, many ask the question: What happens after the festival with the beautiful fir tree? Some leave it until January 6th, while others dispose of it after New Year's Eve or keep Maria Lichtmess on February 2. Before the tree is supplied, however, all decorations, including Lametta, should be removed. It is important that Lametta is not simply thrown into the trash because it may contain lead. Such material belongs in hazardous waste, like oekotest.de explained.

How is the tree disposed of?

But don't worry - there are numerous ways to dispose of the Christmas tree in an environmentally friendly manner:

• Wertstoffhof: Viele Städte bieten eine kostenfreie Abgabe an lokalen Annahmestellen für Grünschnitt.
• Kommunale Sammelstellen: In verschiedenen Städten, wie beispielsweise München oder Berlin, gibt es kostenlose Sammelstellen speziell für Christbäume.
• Abholung: In einigen Regionen werden die Bäume von örtlichen Entsorgungsdiensten abgeholt.
• Spende an Zoos: Ausgediente Tannenbäume sind bei vielen Zoos willkommen, sie sollten jedoch vorher um Erlaubnis gefragt werden.
• Kompostierung: Wer einen Garten hat, kann den Baum selbst kompostieren, sofern er vorher zerkleinert wird.

It is important to dispose of the Christmas tree properly, since incorrect disposal, such as the parking in the forest or park, is considered a garbage and that can result. If you are creative, you can also tackle small handicraft projects with the tree, such as making clothes hooks or wooden wheels from the trunk, which is not only sustainable, but can also give joy.

With this information, the citizens of Amberg-Sulzbach are well informed, both in terms of donation for the Christmas trees and environmentally friendly disposal. So let's be optimistic about the coming Christmas season and that the magnificent firs let our district shine in a festive shine!
