Christmas tree recycling
If you have a garden waste (brown) bin - Once garden waste collections resume, you can leave your real Christmas tree*, with all decorations removed, beside your brown bin on collection day.
Don't have a brown bin? - Only if absolutely essential, you can recycle your real Christmas tree, with all decorations removed, at one of our collection points listed below. Alternatively, you can take the tree to a Suffolk Recycling Centre.
*Large trees (trees that are more than 7ft tall/have a 3 inch trunk), can only be collected via a collection point, or taken to a Suffolk Recycling Centre.
