Christmas trees

Real Christmas trees are shredded and composted. They should be placed in the garden waste skip.

Artificial Christmas trees, can be placed in the following containers at our household waste recycling centres:

• the reuse container for household items: takes Christmas trees if they are still in a good condition
• the small electrical cage: takes trees powered by a battery or mains electricity
• the scrap metal skip: takes trees made out of metal
• the waste for energy skip: for trees not suitable for reuse

If you are part of the garden waste collection service, you can chop up your Christmas tree and put it in your garden waste wheelie bin for collection in March when the service starts.
