When Twelfth Night is over and you want to recycle your real Christmas tree, why not use our special real Christmas tree collection service?

Your Christmas cards and wrapping paper can also be recycled, just pop them into your grey-lidded brown bin. And if you have extra Christmas household waste, bag it and leave out for collection with your green bin on collection day. 

We spend a fortune on our big Christmas shop but many of us are struggling with finding the money to pay for it this year.
