Recycling and rubbish collections in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham have returned to their normal day this Monday 4 January.

To dispose of your Christmas tree, if you normally get an on-street rubbish collection, simply leave your tree where you would leave your rubbish between Monday 4 January and Sunday 17 January.

It must be a real tree with all decorations removed and no stand or pot. It should not be placed where it might cause an obstruction.

Put your tree out for collection before 7am on your regular collection day.

Bishops Park (next to cafe, Bishops Park Road/Stevenage Road entrance)
Cathnor Park (next to the play area, Greenside Road)
