Did you know that Christmas trees can be recycled in green bins? 

They just need to be chopped it into small pieces; and the wooden block has to be removed from the base of the tree as this is too big to be composted. Any lights and decorations need to be removed.

Alternatively, trees can be taken to Arkwright Street Household Waste and Recycling Centre or left at a collection point in the following parks (from 28 December to 31 January):

• Higher Memorial Park (car park), Joseph Street, Failsworth (open 7.30am until dusk)
• Royton Park (car park) off Bleasdale Street, Royton. (open 7.30am until dusk)
• Werneth Park (car park) off Frederick Street, Werneth (open 7.30am until dusk)
• Churchill Playing Fields (car park), Wellington Road, Greenfield. Anytime access.
• George Street Playing Fields (car park), off Milnrow Road, Shaw. Anytime access.
