We all know that Christmas comes with a lot of extra waste. And it can be difficult to remember one year from the next what to put in which bin!

We have put together a handy reminder to help you out this festive season.

Following on from the community tree planting event in Shuttlewood during National Tree Week 2025, Bolsover District Council is again working with Bolsover Woodlands Enterprise and the Bolsover Community Voluntary Service to get planting trees this winter.

On Tuesday 16 December 2025, staff and volunteers rolled their sleeves up and got outside in Whitwell to plant approximately 200 trees to continue efforts to celebrate the importance of trees to the local environment as well as the positive impact they can have on climate change.
