Disposal of real Christmas trees
If you don't have a burgundy bin, you can request a free garden waste uplift for your real Christmas tree. Uplifts can be booked online from Friday 27 December until 3.30pm on Friday 10 January. Trees will be uplifted between Monday 6 January and Friday 17 January 2025. Trees being uplifted must be cut into 5ft sections and tied together.
You can also take your real Christmas tree to one of our six Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRC). Please remember that you need to book a slot for all HWRC's.
