Anyone in the city with a real Christmas tree will likely be looking to get rid of it as soon as the festive season comes to an end.

Households with a brown bin permit can cut up their trees into manageable pieces and place it in their bins for kerbside collection. 

If your bin collection dates fall on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day and January 2 you will receive a communication leaflet when to present your bin for collection.

Alternatively, trees can be taken to any of the council's designated household waste recycling centres.

Where can I recycle my Christmas tree in Glasgow?
