Although many of your Christmas trees may not have been up for long, you can plan to help give it a new life after the decorations come down – by sending it for recycling.
Between Monday 6 January to Friday 24 January 2025, you can simply leave your tree at the front edge of your property as part of your kerbside collection.
Most tree collections will happen on the same days as your rubbish (black bin) schedules on alternating weeks — check the council’s rubbish and recycling collections page for details. Trees must be no taller than 6 feet, free of decorations, and trunks should not exceed 20cm in diameter.
Alternatively, drop your tree at Greenford Reuse and Recycling Centre in Greenford Road (you will need to pre-book an appointment online using the council’s website); or at one of the designated parks and open spaces across the borough – you can see a list of these locations below.
If you live in a flat or use a communal bin service, you will have to take your real tree to one of these outdoor drop-off locations. You can do this until Friday 24 January 2025.
