Recycle Your Christmas Trees in Ealing

Embark on a Green Beginning for the New Year by Recycling Your Christmas Trees.

For details of 2025 see Christmas Tree Recycling and how to Care for them

As the festive season winds down after Christmas, if you’re wondering how to dispose of your Christmas trees, your search ends here. Jumpstart the new year with a simple, swift, and eco-friendly disposal process by including your tree in the Ealing curbside rubbish and recycling collections or by delivering it to a nearby park or reuse and recycle centre.

Tree trunks must not exceed 20cm in diameter or be more than 6 feet tall (taller trees can be cut in 2) and you need to make sure all decorations are removed. The service is in place for real trees only, not synthetic ones.

During January, you can dispose of your Ealing Christmas tree recycling either by:

• Leaving your real christmas tree on the front edge of your property, to have it taken away for recycling on the same day as your rubbish collection (black bin) each alternate week.
• Take you real Christmas trees to the listed council parks and open spaces until the end of January,
• Book Greenford reuse and recycling centre, Greenford Road, UB6 9AP. Its essential to pre-book an appointment online via the council’s website for the Greenford Reuse and recycling centre.

Curious about where the trees end up?

The Christmas trees will be recycled into mulch, serving as a valuable resource for parks and allotments throughout Ealing. Mulch is a protective covering, typically composed of organic materials like leaves, straw, or shredded bark, spread over the soil’s surface around plants. It helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and provide nutrients as it decomposes. In the context of recycled Christmas trees, the mulch created from them can offer similar benefits when spread in parks and allotments.
