Recycling Christmas trees
If you are subscribed to our garden waste service you can recycle your Christmas tree in your brown bin. Make sure you chop it up and can close the lid.
Additionally, St Giles run an annual programme called Treecycle where you can book a collection in return for a donation.
All you need to do is follow these simple rules:
- Make sure you remove all decorations from the tree before putting it in the bin.
- Chop the tree up and make sure no branches are sticking out.
Your tree will then be taken to a composting site where it will be turned into soil improver, which may even be used to grow more Christmas trees!
If you are not signed up to our garden waste scheme, you can also take your tree to your local household recycling centre and deposit it in a green waste container.
