Christmas tree collection
We're collecting natural Christmas trees throughout January.
You must report a missed Christmas tree collection with 72 hours of the collection date. If you haven’t reported it by then, you must dispose of your tree in another way such as taking it to your nearest recycling centre.
Download your 2026 waste collection calendar in PDF format using the collection day finder. Christmas tree collection dates are marked on that calendar.
If you have shared bins
Your building management should have arranged tree collections directly with us. They can tell you when to put your tree out. Don't leave your tree inside the bin storage area.
On your Christmas tree collection date, you can put your Christmas tree out alongside your black wheelie bin.
You must:
- only put out a real tree, we do not collect artificial Christmas trees
- remove all decorations
Garden waste collections are currently suspended and will resume on Monday 26 January 2026.
Normal services: how often
- black wheelie bin: every two weeks
- black and green recycling boxes: weekly
- brown food waste bin: weekly
- garden waste: every two weeks (only shows on the collection day finder when you're paying for the service, find out how to set up garden waste collections)
Where and when to put bins out:
- make sure all rubbish or recycling is placed inside the correct container
- make sure the lid is closed on your black wheelie bin
- if you have forgotten to put your recycling or bin out for collection, put them out on your next collection date
- put bins and recycling boxes out after 6pm the day before collection and before 6am on the morning of collection, they should be at the edge of your property and visible from the road
- take your bin off the highway as soon as possible after the collection
