Do not dispose of your Christmas tree in the back lane. Please remember to do your bit and recycle it by taking it to one of the council’s household recycling centres
It’s always a sad day when the Christmas tree has to come down. But the good news is that any real trees can be recycled!
If you bought a real Christmas tree this year, you need to make the effort to dispose of it responsibly – don’t leave it in the back lane as Newcastle City Council will not collect it as part of household rubbish collections – you need to take it yourself to a household waste and recycling centre.
“Please don’t dump trees in lanes, car parks or on green spaces! Fly tipping is an offense. The only council-ran Christmas tree sites are at the recycling centres.”
‘Real’ trees are recyclable and can be shredded into chippings which are then used locally in parks or woodland areas.
Remember to remove all tinsel and decorations and any pots or stands.
Council will not collect Christmas trees from back lanes

“Confused” residents could be told to recycle fewer items after costing council bosses £500,000 by putting the wrong kind of rubbish in their bins.

BBC News Tyne & Wear has reported the following story:
“Newcastle City Council said it was considering limiting its efforts to a small number of items that are “very clearly able to be recycled”.
The local authority must cover the cost of removing the wrong type of rubbish, such as nappies or food waste.
Contamination can also result in recycling being sent to landfill.
Nick Kemp, cabinet member for the environment, told a scrutiny panel meeting on Thursday: “It is quite a complicated area for something that should be very simple. We are looking at a revised strategy.
“We are looking at potentially identifying a smaller number of items that are very clearly able to be recycled.
“It may mean that more items that could be recycled actually go to landfill, but there would be less contamination.”
In March it was revealed contamination issues cost the authority half a million pounds in 2017/18.”
The above news item was reported on 26 October 2018 by BBC News Tyne & Wear and you can read the story on their website.
