Your local council will have a disposal facility available a few weeks after Christmas, or you can shred and compost Christmas trees just like other garden waste - get yourself a shredder and start composting, or no-dig gardening.

The above of course assumes your tree is made of real wood! Artificial trees are made from a variety of materials, from cardboard to metal, but watch out for those containing PVC – number 1 on our most wanted list!
