Christmas TreesLast year residents sent over 97 tonnes of Christmas trees for composting; a greatachievement! This year the Christmas tree composting scheme is running again. FromSunday 4 to Sunday 18 January 2015 the Council will collect used Christmas treesto be shredded and turned into compost.

The Christmas tree collection dates are different to those for your normal recycling andrefuse collection and a specific crew (not the recycling and refuse crew) will collectyour tree from your home.

For those residents not registered for garden waste collections, telephone Streetlineon 020 73613001 or visit www.rbkc.gov.uk/christmastrees to find out the treecollection day on your street. For those residents registered for garden wastecollections, Christmas trees are collected on the same day as your garden waste.

Please place your tree out for collection alongside your garden waste bag at theboundary of your property (visible from the kerb).

Alternatively, you can deliver your Christmas tree yourself to the following collectionpoints between 4 – 18 January 2015. Please remove decorations and pots.
