In Kamchatka, live Christmas trees will be assembled into animalistic special containers after the holiday
Kamchatka will host an environmental campaign to collect and process natural Christmas trees, the resulting wood chips will serve as bedding for homeless animals, reports RAI KAMCHATKA-INFORM with reference to the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and Energy of the region.
After the holiday, live Christmas trees can be sent to special tanks in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Vilyuchinsk and Yelizovo. According to the organizers of the action, the boat containers will be decorated in the style of Kamchatka animalism.
“The main question for many families will be: “We’ve celebrated the New Year, what should we do with a live Christmas tree now?” So, we hasten to inform you that in early January, an eco-campaign will be held again, organized by the regional MSW management operator Spettrans, to collect live Christmas trees, which residents are ready to part with. Before taking the tree out of the house, it is necessary to remove all decorations, rain and tinsel from it, as all this will interfere with the processing of the tree and may lead to equipment failure,” said Nadezhda Oskina, an employee of the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services.
In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, containers will be located in five points of the city.:
– in the area of the Central Military District on Labor Square
– 5 km along Avtomobilistov Street opposite Dixon shopping center
– in the area of 17 Abel Street
– on Larina Street, 12/1
– in the BAM area on Kirdishchev Street, 4.
In Yelizovo, the container will be installed between the houses at Ryabikova 27 and Ryabikova 7 (behind the Zoo). In Vilyuchinsk, “boats” will be placed in the MKR. Severny, 16 and in the area of “7 Winds” near the Iceberg Ice Palace.
The collected Christmas trees will be sent for recycling. The wood chips obtained during the recycling process will be given to the Kindhearted Animal Welfare Society for bedding for homeless animals.
