adsyb99 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi, looking for some advice. Always had a fake tree in the past, but the Mrs got excited this year and bought a fairly large real one. Any tips on where/how to dispose of it locally? I don't have a saw to cut it up to put in the brown bin.

Bluelagoon Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Usually if you leave out in your garden on the days the garden waste collection they will take the tree. After some digging around I found this which confirms it. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_and_waste/3342/christmas_recyclingEdited to clarify that I meant your front garden! :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52908-christmas-tree-disposal/#findComment-810332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabag Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Bring it to Sydenham Wells ParkThey chip them and make pathway material for the woodland walking areaIt always makes me smile when I look down Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52908-christmas-tree-disposal/#findComment-810335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

oquinn Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can also dispose of them in Peckham Rye park by the recycling bins. Far better than dumping them by a public pavement bin as some lazy people seem to be doing.

adsyb99 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Just to confirm this was spot on. Left it last night and gone this morning with the brown bin collection. Thanks again, much appreciated.

hpsaucey Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well - was just about to take ours to Peckham Rye Park - late I know. I thought the Southwark website had said they were collecting until 31st January but the web link's gone. Does anyone know?CheersHP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52908-christmas-tree-disposal/#findComment-818982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
