The Woodland Trust is running its Christmas card recycling scheme this month for
the third year in partnership with WHSmith and Tesco.
The scheme, which last year
recycled 40 million cards, the equivalent to 800 tonnes, aims to encourage individuals
to recycle their old Christmas cards by leaving them in the special recycling bins
in WHSmith High Street stores and Tesco stores across the UK throughout January 
2004.

This year the Trust has teamed up with Rethink Rubbish to promote the scheme. SCA
Recycling and Severnside Recycling collect and recycle the cards.

The scheme also enables the Trust to access funding from two sources, donated recycling
credits from local authorities, and landfill tax funding. Cleanaway, a waste management
company, has supported the Christmas Card Recycling Scheme for the last five years
donating £570,000 in landfill tax funding.
