Recycling your Christmas tree
in Bromley

Recycling your Christmas tree is the right thing to do for the environment. When your tree is collected from Bromley, it will be taken to a collection point to be broken down or composted. There are a variety of ways your Christmas tree to be recycled:

• Turned into wood chippings –The trees will be shredded into wood chippings, which can then be used on flower beds and in woodland areas around Bromley.
• Wood chippings can be turned into mulch – Mulch can be used for gardening and can be used in public spaces, such as on hiking trails.
• Trees can be turned into compost, which can then be sold to Bromley homeowners – This allows you to benefit from the nourishment provided from your old tree.

The benefit of recycling your Christmas tree is the protection of our environment. There are two things you shouldn’t do with your leftover tree, as they could have harmful effects on the atmosphere.

• DON’T burn your tree – These trees can have oils and fumes in them which can be harmful to both inhale and release into Bromley’s environment. Burning it can send the carbon back into the air, which is the opposite of what we want!
• DON’T put your tree in landfill – A lot of landfill ends up underground, where there is little oxygen available. The bacteria underground will turn the carbon from the tree into methane, producing damage to global temperatures.
