Which bin for real Christmas trees?
Usual answer in the UK
Garden waste Garden waste bin
Most councils collect real trees in January, either from the kerb or through drop-off points, and they also go in garden waste bins if cut to fit.
Also possible: Household waste recycling centre (the tip).
How to prepare it
Remove every bit of tinsel, lights, pots and stands.
Common mistakes
Artificial trees go to the tip or a charity shop, not the bin.
Does every council do this?
Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
