Christmas trees and garden waste must not be left outside the above operating hours. This will be considered fly-tipping and fly-tippers will be prosecuted.

Christmas trees can also be recycled at Waldo Road and Churchfields Road reuse and recycling centres (closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day) - please remember to bring proof of address. 

Residents who are members of our green garden waste wheelie bin collection service can use this service to recycle their real Christmas trees. Trees must be put in the bins for recycling and broken down if necessary.
