Christmas trees will be collected for recycling from around 7,000 Richmondshire households early next year, but residents must book in advance.
Every subscriber to the district council’s garden waste service is entitled to the one off January collection, but the service must be booked.
The booking line opens on December 7 at www.richmondshire.gov.uk/christmas-tree-collection with householders having until January 6 to secure a slot.
Collections will take place from January 11 to 15.
Customers will be notified of the day for collection once the booking is confirmed.
Christmas trees and green bins must be at the kerbside by 6.30am on collection day.
Residents not on the green waste subscription service can still recycle their trees.
They will not be picked up from outside homes but can be taken to one of the council’s Christmas tree recycling collection points to be picked up on the following days:
- Monday, January 11: Hawes; Askrigg; Bainbridge
- Tuesday, January 12: Leyburn; Newton Le Willows; Hunton
- Wednesday, January 13: Richmond; Langthwaite; Muker; Reeth
- Thursday, January 14: Brompton on Swale; Tesco; Colburn Lorry Park
Trees will only be collected from these sites on the listed days.
