Recycling Christmas Trees in Cheltenham

The festive season wouldn’t be the same without a decorated tree and when it comes to choosing one, more and more Gloucestershire residents opt for the real tree. If you have got this winter your Christmas presents under a cut tree, you'll need to know where to recycle it when the festive season is over.

If you live in Cheltenham you can take your Christmas trees to be recycled at Swindon Road recycling centre.
The centre is opened:
Monday – Friday 7.30am ~ 6.30pm
Saturday 7.30am ~ 4.00pm
Sunday and bank holidays 9.00am ~ 1.00pm

For residents whose households are part of the kerb side garden waste collection scheme, trees 5ft and under can be left (whole) next to your garden bag on your collection day and they will be taken as part of this service. Anything larger than this can be chopped up and placed in the council’s green waste bags.

You can also deposit your tree in January 2009 at:
Blooms, Evesham Road, Bishops Cleeve
Dawn Nurseries, Main Road, Little Shurdington
Dundry Nurseries, Bamfurlong Lane, Staverton
Gotherington Nurseries, Gretton Road, Gotherington
Greenway Nurseries, Main Road, Shurdington
