- Here’s our traditional reminder that you can dispose of your Christmas tree by leaving it out for the green recycling collection. And if you’ve forgotten when yours is taking place, we’ve even thought of that.
First twelfth night is tomorrow 6th January the Feast of the Three Kings and second the green bag collection is the day after the normal rubbish and recycling collection
D’oh.
