Twelfth Night / Xmas tree recycling

Well, it's Twelfth Night, and traditionally we're supposed to be taking our Christmas trimmings down. So what can we do with our real Xmas trees? Can we recycle them?

The answer is yes. South Glos Council tells us:
"Provided they are not too big, then Christmas Trees may be chopped up and put into your green bin"

"Branches or the trunk should be no more than 4 inches in diameter. Please make sure that the lid closes and that all decorations have been removed"

"If your tree is too big then it can be taken to your nearest SORT IT!* Centre where it will be separated out for composting"

Thanks Streetcare for your help.

You may find that local composting schemes also accept trees.
