Thanks for this DF - good to know for the future

This from the Southwark website, although given that they think there are 6bn Christmas trees in uk who know how reliable any of their info is!!

Real Christmas tree collections

Each year approximately six billion trees are used to celebrate Christmas in Britain, sadley only 10% of those trees end up being recycled. This January make the most of your Christmas tree and help the environment at the same time by recycling your tree.

Choosing to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark ensures that your tree will be composted and used as a soil improver for agricultural purposes around the country.

There are three easy ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark

If you have a food and garden waste collection, real Christmas trees can be collected as part of your normal household collection service. Simply remove any decorations and its pot or stand and place your tree next to your brown bin ready for collection.

If you do not have a scheduled food and garden waste collection service you can book an ad-hoc collection and arrange for your Christmas tree to be collected. Simply telephone 020 7525 2000 or email the environment team to book.

From 6 to 31 January there will also be real tree collection sites at the following places around the borough

Reuse and recycling centre on Devon Street (off Old Kent Road)

Belair Park

Peckham Rye Park

Southwark Park

No, that can't be 'six billion' !!


Must mean 6 million.

Still an awful lot of trees to grow, acres to spray, petrol to cut down and transport, then throw out.


Consider a container grown alternative next year, one you keep in the garden and repot steadily over several years, up to the max size before planting out.


(There's more info in another thread on this, now in 'ED Trades and Businesses' - someone was complaining about bad ones.)

Just received this link from Southwark council via Twitter: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/article/1519/christmas_opening_hours


Christmas trees can be collected as part of your normal garden refuse, alternatively you can take them down to one of the collection sites [Devon Street (off Old Kent Road), Belair Park, Peckham Rye Park and Southwark Park] or can arrange an ad-hoc collection by calling/emailing the environment team.

Luckily we have a bin store, so didn't feel so bad leaving it out for collection. It got collected when the brown bin collection happened last week. But agree - bit selfish of others to dump it by the road (saw one by the crossing outside the EDT today) or in the bins of others.

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.
    • The SDCAS Crowdfund campaign is now live: Help Save Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers! "I’m proud to be an advice volunteer at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS), a community that welcomes and supports refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Southwark. Right now, we’re facing the toughest moment in our nearly 30-year history.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
