Anyone who has paid for a garden waste collection can leave their real Christmas tree alongside their garden waste bin on their first garden waste collection day in January and it will be collected and composted.

Household recycling centres

A reminder that Wiltshire residents using any of Wiltshire’s household recycling centres to dispose of household waste and recycling in a van, pick up truck, flat bed truck, or large trailer (between 1.8 and 3 metres long), need a permit.

Permits are free of charge, allow a maximum of 12 visits per year and are available here.
