Swindon council will collect Christmas trees for recycling from Monday, even if you're not a garden waste customer.

Garden waste collections begin again on Monday January 8, and the team will also be taking trees for recycling from then until January 22, as long as you leave your tree for collection so it is clearly visible from the road.

The council says it may take a while for your tree to be collected so if you'd rather not wait you can take your tree to the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Waterside Park. Proof of residency is required, and it's open every day except Wednesdays, from 8am to 4pm.
