Swindon Borough Council will be offering a free recycling collection for real (not artificial) Christmas trees.
Residents will need to request a collection via an online form, unless they have a garden waste subscription.
Garden waste subscribers should place their tree next to their green bin for collection on their scheduled collection day between Monday 9 January - Friday 3 February.
The council say residents without a garden waste subscription must request a tree collection via its website. Upon completing the form, residents will be advised of a date for collection as the Garden Waste crews will collect trees as they operate in the area.
Trees must be put out at the front of the property, so they are clearly visible from the road.
All lights and decorations must be removed, and trees must be safely lifted by two people. If the tree is very large, it must be cut into manageable pieces.
