Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is looking for fir trees in gardens that may have finished their purpose for their owners. We are getting into the Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n
Yew trees can become very tall and wide, often taking up a considerable amount of space in domestic gardens. Residents often have problems with these trees, and they are costly for garden owners to remove. Therefore, a decision was made a few years ago to kill two birds with one stone by offering a cost-effective exchange for both parties, where the benefits are for everyone. The council sends staff and equipment to remove the tree free of charge for residents, allowing the tree to be enjoyed as a source of festive cheer. The resident gains more space in their garden, and once Advent is over, the tree is recycled into wood chippings for use around the town. It should be noted that this is only part of the Christmas and New Year decorations that the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur puts up each year; lighting is also installed in several leafy trees throughout the town. Then, so-called light trails and light displays are set up on lampposts, along with beautiful decorations in the Christmas Village in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, a visit to which has become an essential part of the Advent season for many people each year. <\/p>\n
The conditions are that the tree must have reached a height of at least five metres, that its growth pattern 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 felled and erected at pre-determined locations between 7 November and 23 November. <\/p>\n
Anyone interested is kindly asked to contact the Gardener for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, who will visit the site and assess the tree's condition based on the given conditions. The Gardener for the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is Ingibj\u00f6rg Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir. Ingibj\u00f6rg can be contacted on telephone numbers 585-5670 and 585-5674, or by email at: ingibjorgs@hafnarfjordur.is<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6r \u00f3skar eftir grenitrj\u00e1m \u00ed g\u00f6r\u00f0um sem hafa e.t.v. loki\u00f0 s\u00ednu hlutverki hj\u00e1 gar\u00f0eigendum.
