Simply take your tree to one of the following locations for composting throughout January.

• Southall Park (Green Drive)
• Spikes Bridge Park (West Avenue)

Or, take your Christmas tree to one of the three re-use and recycling centres, which are open 8am-4pm Monday to Sunday except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

• Southall (Gordon Road, UB2 5QE)
• Greenford (Greenford Road, UB6 9AP)
