Christmas Tree Disposal

tomp

Any ideas or hints, short of chopping it up and wheelie-binning it

Council collection? recycle? enterprising local firewood collectors?

any ideas welcome

If you're driving through Muswell Hill, past Highgate Wood, there's a drop off point there at the entrance nearest the Parkland Walk extension. Or there was last year.

There's a recycling point in Finsbury Park itself, in the little compound near the cafe. Or there was when I went through the park on the 30th, anyway.

Islington council say they will take trees from front gardens-- can't remember the exact date- 02075272000- well... They took mine I left in front garden last year, and my neighbours.

You left your neighbours in your front garden along with your Christmas tree? Did the council take the neighbours away, too, or just the tree?

If the former, perhaps hughpear should try leaving his dog shit neighbours in his garden along with a Christmas tree - perhaps someone on this thread could lend him theirs if he's already disposed of his! :-)

ETA: I'm suggesting that someone might want to lend hughpear a tree, not that someone might want to lend him their neighbours for disposal :-)

we usually drag ours the 50 yards or so over the border into islington when its dark.

Islington took away our tree today - same day as the rubbish and recycling.
