Hammersmith and Fulham Council is collecting Christmas trees for recycling from today, 2 January till Monday 15 January.

Last year over 75 tonnes of Christmas trees were collected across the borough to be composted, with the total growing each year.

The council says tree should ready for collection by midday on your normal weekday collection and will be collected the afternoon.

If your recycling and rubbish is collected in sacks from outside your home, leave your real tree in your front garden or outside your property for recycling. It should:

- Be clearly visible from the street and not hidden behind
walls or plants.
- Not cause an obstruction on the pavement
- Not have any decorations on it.

There are also designated collection points where you can take your real Christmas trees for recycling.

These are:
• Fulham Palace Road Cemetery (opposite Queensmill Road)
• Loris Road Community Gardens
• New Kings Road (on edge of Eel Brook Common)
• Normand Park (opposite Lillie Road entrance)
• Ravenscourt Park (by football pitch)
• Wormwood Scrubs car park (off Scrubs Lane)

You can find out more about recycling in H&F and check your bin collection day here.
