Sussex (East and West Sussex): Where and How to Recycle Your Christmas Tree After the Holidays

Sussex (East and West Sussex): Where and How to Recycle Your Christmas Tree After the Holidays January 2022

Sussex (East and West Sussex) councils and boroughs

Most areas have either :

Kerbside collection (in some cases, cut the tree and put in the green waste bin - Some allow the whole Christmas tree to be placed by the kerb), or
Drop-off locations or
Both

In ALL cases, remove all ornaments, tinsel, decorations, lights, stands, pots, planters, netting, etc.

Some household waste and recycling collections have been slightly delayed as a result of the national shortage of HGV drivers, which is affecting haulage sectors throughout the UK. Most residents will not see any change from their normal waste collections dates as over 98% of all collections are unaffected, but...

Always follow the link (click on the council or borough name) to get the most current information. There are often last minute changes; do NOT assume nothing has changed since we last revised this page!.

West Sussex -
Real Christmas trees can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Site (HWRS) and placed in with the garden waste to ensure it is recycled into compost. If you live in Adur, Arun, Chichester, Crawley, Horsham or Worthing areas, and subscribe to a garden waste collection, you can place your real Christmas tree out for collection. Please note in Horsham your tree should be cut up and put inside your garden waste bin. In Mid Sussex, you can take your real Christmas tree to a designated collection point for recycling. For more information please check with your local district or borough council.
