Christmas tree recycling
Our Christmas tree recycling points are now closed, and the City of London are unable to collect Christmas trees on Hampstead Heath this year.
You can still take your tree to Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre.
Dumping your Christmas tree on the street is illegal and if you’re caught you could receive a £400 on-the-spot fine for fly-tipping. It also makes it difficult for people to get by safely.
Other ways to get rid of Christmas trees
Your real Christmas tree can also be collected:
-
as part of our garden waste subscription service - if cut to fit in your garden waste bin or bags - in our bulky waste (large item) collection service - charges may apply
Many Christmas tree sellers provide a take-back service too.
If you have the space, buy a living tree in a pot that you can plant in your garden or keep for next year.
