Now Christmas is over, those festive trees need somewhere to go.

Barnet Council is asking residents to recycle trees now the festive period has come to an end.

Trees can be left next to residents’ green bins on their next collection day where they will be collected by council staff.

Alternatively, real Christmas trees can be taken to the reuse and recycling centre in Summers Lane, N12 0RF where they are converted to compost.

Garden waste collections are set to resume tomorrow (January 7).

Upcoming green bin collection dates can be found here.
