We will be collecting real Christmas trees from Monday 5 January 2026 to Friday 16 January 2026 to help you recycle responsibly after the festive season. Please ensure your tree is presented with your bins.
Collection instructions
To help our crews and ensure your tree is collected:
- Put your tree out by Monday 5 January 2026. We will collect it as soon as possible over the following two weeks.
- Remove all decorations, lights, pots, and stands.
- Place your tree at the edge of your property, clearly visible from the road, without blocking pavements or access routes.
Your cooperation helps our crews work safely and efficiently, thank you for supporting them during this busy time!
How to recycle your tree
- You can take your real Christmas tree to any of our Household Reuse and Recycling Centres.
- If you are signed up for our garden waste collection service, you can cut your tree into smaller pieces and place it in your garden waste bin.
