After all the festivities are over it can be difficult to know how to dispose of your real Christmas tree but important that the trees are correctly recycled.
Take your tree to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre
You can take your tree whole to your nearest recycling centre and drop it into the garden waste container.
Find your nearest centre
Don’t forget – if you are visiting your local Household Waste Recycling Centre to drop your tree off you can also take your unwanted cardboard, glass, and plastic.
Donate your tree to charity to be recycled
There are several charities in Staffordshire who will collect your real tree for a small donation and will recycle it for you.
