Real Christmas trees can be recycled in various ways throughout South Lanarkshire.
Trees being uplifted must be cut into maximum of 5ft sections and tied together.
SLC will collect real Christmas trees placed beside your burgundy food and garden waste bin on your normal burgundy bin collection day between Monday 6 January and Friday 17 January 2025.
If you don’t have a burgundy bin, request a free garden waste uplift for your real Christmas tree. Uplifts can be booked online until 3.30pm on Friday 10 January. Trees will be uplifted between Monday 6 January and Friday 17 January 2025.
You can also take your real Christmas tree to one of the six Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRC). Please remember to go to the tip in High Blantyre, that you need to book a slot first.
