Does anybody know of a reasonable pick up service for Christmas tree recycle/disposal ? 
I do not have a green bin and the tree doesn’t fit in my car. Thank you.

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.
