Christmas trees can be taken to the household waste recycling centres. One tree can be put out for collection with your garden waste on your first collection when the garden waste service resumes after the Christmas period. There is no need to chop the tree up, just leave it beside your garden waste sack. The maximum trunk diameter is 11cm.
Recycling Christmas Tree’s is a popular scheme and recycling them makes a really positive impact on our environment.

(Lovely 2017 Basics Bank tree pictured .)
