That this Committee, noting the contents of the reply to Question 16 at the ACM of 23rd November, requests the Manager to provide a Christmas Tree Re-Cycling Collection in the Lucan EA, in early January, for the following reasons:

1. This is the first Christmas since the closing of the Esker Re-cycling Centre.

2. The Brown Bin System has only recently been introduced in many parts of the EA, and householders are still getting used to the system, how best to use it etc.

3. It is not feasible to expect that a significant number of households will be prepared to cut up, pack etc. trees which in many households are quite large, and this method of disposal is likely to be beyond the ability of elderly householders.

 4. The use of the Brown Bin for waste/surplus food is likely to increase very substantially in the period around Christmas/New Year, and there will not be room for chopped up trees.
