LIMERICK City and County Council is encouraging all households to dispose of their real Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way this season.

The Council-run recycling centres in Mungret, Kilmallock and Newcastle West will accept Christmas Trees for the month of January.
Opening days and hours for the three Civic Amenity Centres can be found at Limerick.ie.
