Christmas trees

Simply remove all the decorations and tinsel from the tree, remove it from it's pot or stand, then take it  to a collection point.  This is usually the boundary of your property or a designated communal point.

You may receive a leaflet from your council, find an information sticker on your bin or see an advert in your local paper detailing when the 'special collection' will take place. If you don't come across any of these, why not contact your council and ask if they are collecting them in your area.

The trees are usually shredded into chippings which can then be used locally in parks or woodland areas.

Unfortunately, due to the combination of materials used to make an artificial tree. you are unable to recycle it.  However, if it is still in good condition when you decide to replace it, why not ask friends and family, advertise it on an exchange website or donate it to charity so someone else can use it.
