Christmas tree collections
We will collect real Christmas trees from Monday 5 January to Friday 16 January.
You will need to:
- put your tree out by Monday 5 January – we will collect it as soon as possible by Friday 16 January
- 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
Thank you for supporting our crews during this busy time!
How to recycle your tree
You can take your real Christmas tree to any of our reuse and recycling centres.
If you use our garden waste collection service, you can cut your tree into smaller pieces and place it in your garden waste bin.
