Garden waste subscribers can recycle Christmas trees in their kerbside collection. We kindly ask that you remove all decorations and lights, chop branches into smaller pieces and place in your garden waste bin. Trees can also be taken to your local community recycling centre. Some areas offer tree recycling schemes, so do look out for those, too.
Your digital guide to next year’s bin collections will be available later in December. Printed copies will be available to collect from your local council office at the end of January.
