Timber from Jersey trees that fell in Storm Ciarán can be collected
- Published
Timber from fallen trees brought down during Storm Ciarán is being made available for reuse.
The Government of Jersey said the timber could be picked up for free from the recycling centre at La Collette.
The timber ranges from about 50cm to 4m (20in to 13ft) in length and 30cm to 1.8m (12in to 6ft) in diameter.
Hundreds of trees were damaged or came down as Storm Ciarán left a trail of destruction across Jersey in November.
The government said an "enormous amount" of green waste was collected after the storm passed, with fallen trees cut up to separate the trunks and large branches.
It said the timber would be machine-loaded onto vehicles at La Collette but there would not be an opportunity for selection of species or further cutting or milling.
Those wishing to collect timber should email recycle@gov.je with "Wood Request" in the subject line.
The government said the email should include the following information:
Name
Name of business (if applicable)
Contact details
Quantity of wood requested
Type of vehicle used to collect the wood
Transport restrictions including maximum dimensions and weight
Where the wood would be stored prior to use
Amount of waste wood to be produced from the intended use
