Planning to get a real Christmas tree this year?

Well if you live in Burnley borough make it a New Year’s resolution to make sure your real tree gets recycled.

All you have to do is put your tree out for collection by 6.30am on Monday 16th January and the council’s contractors will come along and take it away. There’s no need to book a collection – just make sure the tree is out at the usual collection point for your recyclables. The trees will be recycled and used as compost.

Don’t forget, you can also recycle all the cans, bottles, paper and cards once all the festivities are over. The more rubbish that’s recycled, the less your wheelie bin will fill up and the less that has to go to landfill.
