Real Christmas tree recycling
If you have a brown bin
During January, you can leave your real Christmas tree, with all decorations removed, beside your brown bin on collection day.
Please note: Large trees (trees that are over 7ft tall, or have a trunk thicker than 7cm), can not be collected alongside brown bins. They can only be collected via a collection point, or taken to a Suffolk Recycling Centre.
Don't have a brown bin?
You can recycle your real Christmas tree, with all decorations removed, at one of our collection points.
You can also take the tree to a Suffolk Recycling Centre.
