To recycle your real Christmas trees and other garden waste, we will open temporary green garden waste sites.

Further details

Please remember to remove all decorations from your tree before you take it to the site.

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 Churchfields Road reuse and recycling centre (closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day) - please remember to book your slot before visiting. 

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.
