Christmas tree disposal

Christmas trees will be collected from garden waste subscribers only.  Trees can be put into garden waste bins, or left beside them, on scheduled garden waste collections days from 9 January onwards.  Please ensure that all decorations are removed.    

Non garden waste subscribers can take trees to their local household waste recycling centre.  Alternatively, residents in parts of St Albans and Harpenden can register for a charity Christmas tree collection service. 

The limited service is being run by the Hospice of St Francis on a first come, first served basis. Those who take advantage of it are asked to make a donation to the charity.

Once registered, residents can leave their real Christmas tree outside the front of their property on the evening of Friday 3 January, for collection on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 January.

To register, you will need to be within the AL1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 postcodes and log your details at: https://www.stfrancis.org.uk/events/fundraising/christmas-tree-collections     Registration is open now.
