Douglas residents who still haven't disposed of their Christmas tree yet can have it collected free of charge today.
The council's sending wagons through the capital to pick up natural trees from 9 this morning - with 15 stopping-off points.
Collections begin at the Grandstand car park in Noble's Park at 9am, followed by stops in Governor's Hill and Willaston.
Tree collectors will then make their way through Farmhill, Anagh Coar, Pulrose, central Promenade, York Road, St Ninian's, Port e Chee and Tromode.
Then it's along Bucks Road, before the final pick-up in Lord Street car park at 3 this afternoon.
The free service is for Douglas ratepayers only and the council's asking households not to bin or dump their Christmas trees, as the re-chipped material will be used on Douglas parks and gardens.
Pick-up times and locations are on the council's website, douglas.gov.im.
