Dispose of the fir tree: Ratzeburg starts free collection!

Ratzeburg, Deutschland - On January 6, 2025, Ratzeburg's mayor Eckhard Graf commented on various topics, including promises that cannot be met. In his review of the year 2024, Graf also gave an outlook on future developments and plans to develop a commitment strategy for Ratzeburg by the end of 2025.

A central topic at the turn of the year is the disposal of Christmas trees. The collection of fir trees in the city begins on Monday. Disposal is possible free of charge at recycling yards by the end of January. This is particularly important because many citizens ask themselves after the holidays how they can really dispose of their Christmas trees, like ln-online.de reported.

Christmas tree disposal in Thuringia

In Thuringia, Christmas tree disposal begins in the second week of January. It should be noted that the combustion of Christmas trees in your own garden is prohibited. Many cities, municipalities and counties offer a pick -up service for Christmas trees. Every year, several hundred tons of Christmas trees are composted, which supports environmentally friendly disposal. In Thuringia in particular, the so-called knee-resistant is very popular, in which the trees are traditionally burned, such as Landeswelle.de reported.

The first Knutfest took place in Hausen on January 6, 2023, where the trees be picked up at 4 p.m. and the fire was lit at 6 p.m. Many other events are planned in the following days, including in the Ilfelder sports club and in Wiegersdorf, where a Knutfest is celebrated on January 7, 2023. Dates for Christmas tree disposal are already set in other cities such as Gotha and Erfurt.
