Christmas Tree Collections
| Details here . Between Monday 5 and Friday 16 January, you can recycle real Christmas trees for free through the Council, providing all decorations and pots are removed. Trees taller than 6 foot need to be cut in half. Collections from houses: If you live in a house, place your tree at the edge of your property boundary (and visible to collectors) by 6am on your collection day. (It seems that 13th January is central Ickenham’s collection day) The Council’s information page (linked at the start of this post) makes no mention of whether this requires membership of the garden waste collection scheme. Given that the trees are placed separately to the tagged bags, maybe this is a free-of-obligation service. |
