Christmas tree recycling

We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free! Simply remove all decorations, including any pot or stand, and do one of the following:

  • Put out your Christmas tree with your food and garden waste containers on your collection day
  • If you don’t have a food or garden waste collection, you need to request a free collection 
  • You can also bring your Christmas tree to our Reuse and Recycling centre         se22newmum just request a pick up and leave it in a safe place 

Yesterday afternoon, in the high winds, discarded trees were sent flying across the streets, which was quite dangerous. Thank goodness the winds are lighter today, but if you are putting trees out, ideally please do so in the morning, not the night before, and if possible wedge them (or cut them down) and put in your bin as an anchor. But the binmen seem, as usual, to be taking them where they can.

    • The most successful (in the sense of being long-lived) indoor markets often wholly or mainly offer 'antiques' - as these stalls can be covered by others when the owners are absent - as they often can be, if dealers and attending auctions etc. Whoever acts as a support can offer a fixed discount or contact the owners for negotiation. Remember than most indoor markets survive by being open 7 days a week, if allowed - but the individual stalls are often one person bands who can't provide that level of cover, so will individually be closed for one or two days in the week. Too many closed (unless, as above, they are still at least virtually 'open for business') and the market will lose its attraction. One problem is that individuals may use the market to try out a business idea - the problem being that if successful they may then look for a 'proper' shop and leave the market. So the good outlets always move on. And the market holder then has to look for a new tenant.
    • Make a note of the vehicle details, complain to the company and then complain to the council copying your councillor in.
    • And already two huge HGVs have made their way up Colyton Rd, despite assurances at the meetings that they would be routed from the top. Love it how they make these statements to placate the locals, then just do whatever they want because there's no one from the council watching. Or caring.
    • I know. Now the weather has been better for a few days, that whole area has been well used by people sitting out in the grass and just enjoying the peace and views- mainly young people too! Now all that will be lost for the rest of the summer as the grass does not recover until autumn.
