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 and plants
• Not obstruct the pavement
• Not have any pots or decorations on it

Trees must be ready for collection by midday on your collection day between Tuesday 3 January and Friday 13 January. They will not be collected until the afternoon.

There are also designated collection points where you can take your real Christmas tree for recycling:

• Fulham Palace Road Cemetery (opposite Queensmill Road)
• Loris Road Community Gardens
• New King's 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)

H&F Council says the trees will be composted and put to good use rather than going to waste. In previous years, over 60 tonnes of trees were collected and composted.
