Recycle your artificial Christmas tree

If you no longer require your artificial Christmas tree you can:

  • Donate your unwanted item.
  • Take it to the household waste (tip) and recycling centre.
  • Put it in your green household waste bin. You need to make sure your tree fits into your bin with the lid fully closed. We will not remove any trees left at the side of your bin.
