It is the beginning of the year, and it is time to throw your tree with your bad habits of 2019. This is good, BFM informs that since Thursday, the City of Paris launched the operation "Recycle our trees". 195 collection points are thus set up in the capital where you can drop off your dying tree so that it can be recycled. The operation runs until January 20.

For more details on the process, your tree will be crushed, thus creating… ground, used in the form of mulching at the foot of the massifs and on the trails, informs the Mairie de Paris.

97,356 trees collected in 2019

"This makes it possible to reduce in an ecological way the appearance of weeds, to limit the evaporation of water and to favor the development of underground microorganisms which improve the life of the soil", informs the administration. Gardeners in the city will notably use this shred in many Parisian parks and gardens.

If the ecological motivation is not enough for you, we remind you that depositing "the king of the forests" on the sidewalk is liable to a fine of 135 euros. Last year, 97,356 trees were collected, say our colleagues at BFM .
