Did you have a real Christmas tree in your home this Christmas?

Once broken up into small pieces, your real Christmas tree can be placed inside of your brown bin for garden waste, to be collected by Chelmsford City Council. Please ensure that your bin lid is closed shut ready for our crews to collect.

Your tree will then be recycled at an industrial composting facility in Ongar where it is turned into a nutrient rich compost to be used on local farm land.
