Christmas tree recycling 2010/11

Lewisham Council is once again this year offering a free Christmas tree recycling service for residents.

Councillor Susan Wise, Cabinet Member for Customer Services, said: “Rather than simply throw away your Christmas trees once the festive season is over, I’d urge everyone to recycle their tree. Lewisham Council now has around a dozen recycling collection points around the borough. The trees are chipped and used as mulch and for pathways in different parks around the borough, so nothing’s wasted.”

Residents can leave their Christmas trees at the following points for collection between 27 December and 28 January:

• Hilly Fields - entrance in Hilly Fields Crescent, SE4
• Deptford Park - entrance in Scawen Road, SE8
• Telegraph Hill - Pepys Road/Kitto Road entrance, SE14
• Talbot Place - Blackheath, SE3
• Mountsfield Park - entrance top of George Lane, SE13
