Treecycling as Your Decorations Come Down

One last Christmas present - recycle your Christmas trees

You're bound to be left with a skip-load of needles but where to bin the stump you're left with when you disrobe your tree of its baubles?

Ealing residents are being urged to give their sorry tree remains a new lease of life by recycling them.

Ealing Council is setting up 18 temporary bases in parks across the borough, where people can take their trees to be shredded and turned into compost.

The council is hoping to receive more than the 8,500 recycled last year.

Alternatively trees can be taken to any of the re-use and recycling centres in Greenford Road, Greenford, Bollo Lane, Acton, and Gordon Road, Southall.

The weekly garden waste collection service will not be taking away whole Christmas trees from houses.

The full list of tree drop off points is: Elthorne Park

(Boston Road entrance); Churchfields (car park); Southall Park (Green Drive entrance); Spikes Bridge Park (West Ave entrance); Ravenor Park (Ruislip Road entrance); Rectory Park (Parkfield Drive entrance); Islip Manor Park (Eastcote Lane car park); Berkeley Fields (Berkeley Ave car park); Ealing Central Sports Ground (Horsenden Lane South entrance); Perivale Park (Cowgate Road entrance); Pitshanger Park; Ealing Common (Junction of Grange Road and The Common); North Acton Playing Fields; Acton Park; Acton Green Common; Cleveland Park; Southfields Park; Walpole Park (Lammas Park Gardens entrance).
