Hospices offer tree collection

Royal Borough: Drop-off points will run across the area

- By Adrian Williams adrianws@baylismedi­a.co.uk @AdrianW_BM

This year real Christmas trees can be disposed of at two local hospices and multiple drop-off points.

If you have a garden waste subscripti­on, you can cut up your real Christmas tree and put it in your green bin for collection on your normal collection day. Christmas trees left next to the bin will not be collected.

But there are no collection­s of green bins this week or next week.

There is also an opportunit­y to support two local hospices when you dispose of your Christmas tree.

Alexander Devine Children's Hospice will be doing collection­s in January on Saturday 8, Sunday 9 and Monday 10.

Its collection area is SL6, SL7 and SL8 and the booking deadline is noon on Wednesday, January 5. To book, visit just-helping.org. uk/register-tree/

Thames Hospice is offering collection­s Thursday, January 6 in Datchet, Wraysbury, Horton and SL4; on Friday 7 in SL4 only and Saturday 8 in SL5 only.

Registrati­ons close at 12pm on Monday, January 3.

There is no minimum donation, though £10 is suggested.

There will also be Christmas tree collection­s points around the borough

from Tuesday, January 4 to Sunday, January 16.

Residents should remove all decoration­s, lights, pots and stands before disposing of the tree.
