Real Christmas tree collection

Want your real tree to be collected? Put it out by 6am from Tuesday 30 December 2025 and it will be collected within a four week period. Remember to remove all decorations, pots, etc. Put your tree close to the front boundary of your property, visible to collection crews and so it won’t block the pavement. If you live in a flat, put your tree outside the bin store but don’t block access to it. 

Alternatively, you can:
• Take your tree to be composted at the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre at Kimpton Park Way (HRRC)
• Leave it next to your rubbish bin on your collection day (it will not be recycled)
• Chop it up to create a winter shelter for animals in your garden or add it to your compost heap

On the day

Put your bins, boxes and caddies out before 6:00 am on the morning of your collection. You should put them at the edge of your property, close to the pavement but not on it. Bins should be seen easily from the road.  Find out more about presenting your bins on collection day.

If your bin was not collected

If you think we might have missed your bins by mistake, you can report a missed bin collection online.
