100% of the revenue generated from the tree recycling will be donated by Glendale to the Friends of Cancer Centre charity at Belfast City Hospital, a centre where Stewart Cameron, co-owner of the company, was previously a patient.

The trees will be composted and recycled into woodchip mulch for horticultural use.

“By recycling the Council Christmas trees, Antrim and Newtownabbey are working towards reducing waste in the Borough, and the donation to the Friends of Cancer Charity is an added benefit.”
