Help to cut carbon emissions and protect our parkland. When it is time to get rid of your Christmas tree, remember that it can be recycled and the bark shavings used in council gardens.

We offer three possible ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Haringey, but before you use any of them please remember to remove all lights and decorations.

1. If you receive a green garden waste collection, you can cut your tree into smaller pieces (maximum length 1 metre or 3 feet) and put it out for collection. It is essential that your tree is cut into smaller pieces, otherwise it cannot be collected
2. Christmas trees can also be taken to Haringey's Reuse and Recycling Centres:
   • Tottenham Centre - Park View Road, N17 9AY
   • Wood Green - Western Road, N22 6UG
     • Opening times:
       Monday to Friday: 8.30am to 4pm
       Saturday and Sunday: 9am to 4pm
3. Alternatively, you can take them to designated sites in the following parks - this is only offered for four weeks after Christmas Day:
   • Albert Road Recreation Ground (Staff yard) - Bidwell Gardens, N11
   • Bruce Castle Park (Staff yard) - Lordship Lane, N17
