Mid Sussex District Council has set up Christmas tree recycling points at convenient locations across the district to help residents dispose of their trees when the festive fun is over.

The Council has arranged for 25 temporary Christmas tree drop-off points in towns and villages across the district, so there will be a place nearby where residents can recycle their real Christmas tree. All people have to do is along their tree to the most convenient local site, place it in the marked bay and it will be taken away to be recycled locally.

Residents with a green garden waste collection bin can put their tree directly into it, as long as the lid can still close firmly. Alternatively, people can take their real tree along to one of the Household Waste Recycling Sites at Fairbridge Way in Burgess Hill or Imberhorne Lane in East Grinstead.

Sites will be open between Friday 30 December 2016 and Friday 13 January 2017 at the following locations.

All waste and recycling collections will be one day later than usual from Monday 26 December until Saturday 7 January 2017. Collections return to normal from Monday 9th January.

Residents can access personalised information about their collection day, and if they are due a blue lidded recycling collection or a grey lidded waste collection, by entering their postcode at www.midsussex.gov.uk/mymidsussex.

The festive bin collection changes are as follows:-

There will be no garden waste collections between Monday 26 December and Friday 6 January 2017.

Residents with a real Christmas tree can recycle it in their garden waste bin as long as the lid can be closed firmly. Alternatively, the Council provides lots of sites where residents can drop off a tree for recycling. To see the details of dates and locations, go to www.midsussex.gov.uk/recycling. Sites are open between Friday 30 December and Friday 13 January 2017.
