When the decorations come down on Twelfth Night, the problem about what to do with the Christmas tree begins. However, East Cambridgeshire District Council has a solution, offering residents of Ely and the district the chance to recycle their real Christmas trees.

You can leave your Christmas Tree at the end of the garden for six months - or you can put it out with the brown bags!
If you live in East Cambs and want to recycle your tree, it should be left out next to the brown sacks for collection by the green waste crew on recycling days.
"It is always sad when Christmas comes to an end as we all pack away our decorations for another year," says Dave White, Waste Strategy Team Leader at East Cambridgeshire District Council. "This January we are reminding residents they can recycle their real Christmas trees by leaving it out for collection when their recycling is collected and it will be taken to be turned into compost.
"People don't have to worry about chopping up their tree to fit it in the brown sacks – just leave the tree with your brown sacks for collection. Alternatively, if you don't want to wait until your recycling day then you can take your real tree to the Witchford Recycling Centre, where it can be placed in the green waste."
