The collection advice:

• Christmas tree recycling: Cut your tree in half and place it beside your brown garden waste bins. If you are in a tenement area place your tree beside your communal waste bin. Trees will be collected on Wednesday 6th, Thursday 7th and Friday 8th January 2010. You can also take your Christmas tree to any of Edinburgh’s four Community Recycling Centres. Trees will be made into compost for city gardens.
