We’re now in that we’re into New Year and many people will be looking to take down the tree.
If you bought a real tree and are looking to get rid of it responsibly, Gedling Borough Council will recycle it for £5.
The council’s waste team will then recycle your tree it into chippings, which will then be redistributed across nature areas and parks throughout the borough.
To have your tree composted you have to take these steps first.
Preparing your Christmas tree for collection
Please remove all decorations, tree stand, soil, pots and netting.
Trees must be out for collection before 7am, and no more than 24hours in advance.
If your tree is not out on collection date then we will not be able to return. Christmas trees will not be taken if left for collection with your household waste bin.
