Do you want to get rid of a pine tree from your garden?

The Head Gardener, on behalf of the City of Hafnarfjörður, is seeking any Christmas trees that may have finished their purpose with their owners.

The tree serves as a source of joy during the Christmas festivities.

As many people know, pine trees can become very tall, wide, and often take up quite a lot of space in domestic gardens. Residents often have problems with these trees, and it is often costly for the homeowner to have such a tree removed. It was therefore decided to kill two birds with one stone by offering such an exchange. The council will send staff and equipment to remove the tree, and it will all be free of charge for residents. The benefits are for all of us: the tree serves as a festive delight, the resident gains more space in their garden, and once Advent is over, the tree is used for woodchip in the town's grounds.

The tree must be at least 5 metres high.

The conditions are that the tree has reached a height of at least five metres, that its growth is good, i.e. that the tree is well-branched all the way around, and that it is easy to get to in order to fell it at ground level. The trees will be erected at pre-determined locations between 1 November and 17 November.

Anyone interested can contact the Head Gardener on 585-5670, 585-5674 or send an email to the following address: ingibjorgs@hafnarfjordur.is
