Free real Christmas tree recycling
In January we offer free real Christmas tree recycling for all residents.
This is a fortnightly service - check your Christmas bin label for details of when real Christmas tree collections happen in your road, or check our Where I Live section.
Remove all decorations and leave your real Christmas tree next to your bins on your real Christmas tree recycling day.
Don't cut up your tree - it's easier for us to collect whole.

Leave your bins in a clearly visible place at the edge of your property from 6.30am on collection day. We work as normal on bank holiday Mondays and Good Friday. What if a collection is missed?
