Will you recycle your festive tree!

As the holiday winds down and we eventually get back to our regular routine the Borough has posted some advice about how to recycle your festive tree wisely.You can find advice on tree recycling here on these Borough web pages.

If you want to get rid of an old plastic/fake tree the Borough advice is to take it to your nearest Household Waste and Recycling Centre.

There is a Borough web page for the Leyton Household Waste Centre here.
