RECYCLING
Tree tops
the list
Once Christmas has finished,
there will be piles of cards, empty
cardboard boxes and packaging
lying around. In the corner of a room
there will also probably be a tree
looking a bit sad and bare.
T
here is no need for all of
this to go to waste. You can
recycle a lot of these leftovers.
You can recycle your real
Christmas tree, for a start. The council
will collect your Christmas tree for
recycling from your doorstep with your
recycling in January.
Of course, you can recycle any
cardboard packaging in your green
recycling box, or your white sack if it the
packaging is plastic; while food waste
can go in the food waste recycling bin.

Christmas and the new year.
Alternatively, old Christmas trees
can be taken to one of the council’s
parks and open spaces.
Between Monday, 29 December
and Friday, 16 January, real Christmas
trees can be put out with your weekly
refuse and recycling collections at your
property boundary. Tree trunks must not
exceed 20cm in diameter or 6ft in height
(taller trees can be cut in two). And
remember to remove all decorations.
Alternatively, you can take your
tree to any of the venues listed below
in January:
Christmas trees
Parks and open spaces
Once again this year the council is
providing a doorstep collection of
Christmas trees.
On the same day as your usual refuse
and recycling, the council will collect
old Christmas trees for composting.
Make sure you check on the back
page of this magazine for any changes
to your usual collection day over
