CHRISTMAS TREE DISPOSAL
Real Christmas trees can be recycled alongside your green lidded bin throughout January. Please ensure that you:
– remove all decorations;
– remove as many branches as possible, cut into manageable pieces and place loosely inside your bin, so it can be emptied without the branches getting stuck; and
– cut the trunk into pieces, no wider than 6 inches/15cm diameter or higher than your wheeled bin and leave out alongside your food and garden waste bin on your next scheduled collection date.
Artificial trees cannot be recycled.
