Christmas tree collections

If you have subscribed to the garden waste collection service, you can place your real Christmas tree out for collection on your scheduled garden waste collection day. You must remove all decorations, pots and turf from your tree as these cannot be recycled. If your tree is taller than 6ft, please cut it into smaller pieces (otherwise it cannot be collected) or take it to one of the parks listed below.

This year North London Hospice are introducing a free Christmas tree recycling service to selected postcodes in Enfield. For more information visit North London Hospice.
