Real Christmas tree uplifts

Don't forget that we will collect real Christmas trees (in sections of five feet or less) alongside your brown bin from 12 January over the next two week collection cycle.

Please refer to your collection calendar for specific uplift dates in your area. Simply visit the bin day section of the North Ayrshire Council website and enter your postcode.

Arran residents can recycle real Christmas trees at the Brodick Household Waste Recycling Centre.

If you're planning a New Year clear out and want to plan ahead, further information of bulk uplifts and other recycling options are on the council's bins, litter and recycling webpage.
