What to do with your old Christmas tree
You can take your old Christmas tree for recycling at one of three recycling centres located in Torbay:
Lymington Road Coach Station Car Park, Torquay between 10am to 2pm on:
-
Sunday 12 January 2014
-
Sunday 19 January 2014
Brixham College, Higher Ranscombe Road, Brixham between 10am to 2pm on:
-
Sunday 12 January 2014
-
Sunday 19 January 2014
Marldon Christmas Tree Farm, Paignton between 8am and 5pm on:
-
Saturday 11 January 2014
-
Sunday 12 January 2014
The recycling centre, Tor Park Road, Paignton
-
Any day, 7 days a week (closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day)
Drop off your tree without their decorations at these points on the dates and times designated – if they are left at another location, doing so can be treated as fly-tipping.
Remember to Recycle your Christmas Cards
You can recycle all of your Christmas cards and festive wrapping paper in your household recycling boxes/bins or, if you have lots, the recycling boxes located at your nearest recycling bank.
Remember – if you can’t rip it, then you can’t recycle it as paper.
