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.

Old greetings cards can be recycled in the same way as cardboard.

In January some stores like Tesco (bless them) and W H Smith provide collection points for Christmas cards. They are recycled into newspapers, towels and writing paper, and proceeds go to charity.
