Christmas tree recycling services
and old Christmas cards for recycling please.....
Residents who wish to have their Christmas trees recycled are being reminded to leave them out at the front of their properties where the collectors can clearly see them.
The council is recycling Christmas trees free of charge as part of its regular refuse and recycling collections. All the trees collected will be shredded and turned into compost and used in parks and open spaces.
Trees will be collected from households on normal refuse and recycling collection days until January 21.
Residents are requested to leave their trees in front gardens or at the front of properties where they can be easily seen from the road. People should avoid leaving them hidden behind garden walls or fences.
Trees should not be placed on pavements or public footpaths unless there is no alternative.
Residents who live in blocks of flats should leave their trees near to their refuse bin store, making sure they do not block access to the bin store.
The council is also encouraging residents to recycle their Christmas cards when taking down their decorations. Greeting cards can be recycled using the council's Orange Sack service.
Residents in blocks of flats, who do not have an individual doorstep refuse collection can also place items in the communal recycling banks that are placed on many housing estates.
