Croydon Council will be collecting your unwanted real Christmas trees from Monday 5 January 2026 to Friday 16 January 2026.

You will need to:

  • put your tree out by Monday 5 January – we will collect it as soon as possible by Friday 16 January
  • remove all decorations, lights, pots, and stands
  • place your tree at the edge of your property, clearly visible from the road, without blocking pavements or access routes

Thank you for supporting our crews during this busy time!

How to recycle your tree

You can take your real Christmas tree to any Croydon Council reuse and recycling centre.
