Recycling your Christmas tree
in Croydon

Recycling your Christmas tree is the most environmentally friendly solution. Once we have collected your tree in Croydon, it will be taken to a collection point to be broken down or composted. Your festive tree can be recycled in several ways:

• Turned into wood chippings – Your tree can be shredded into wood chippings, ready to be used on flowerbeds or in woodlands throughout Croydon.
• Wood chippings can be turned into mulch – Ideal for hiking trails, mulch can also be used for gardening and in other public spaces.
• Trees can be turned into compost, which can then be sold to Croydon homeowners – This way, you can benefit from the nourishment that your old tree provides.

Recycling your Christmas tree is highly beneficial for the environment. There are two tree disposal methods which can have a negative impact on the atmosphere, so they should be avoided at all costs.

• DON’T burn your tree – Christmas trees often contain oils and create fumes which can be harmful to Croydon’s atmosphere, and they are not good to inhale. Burning your tree can do the opposite of what we want by sending carbon back into the air.
• DON’T put your tree in landfill – There is little oxygen available underground, and that is where a lot of landfill ends up. The bacteria underground will turn the carbon from the tree into methane, contributing to global temperatures continuing to rise.
