Additional rules for pickup:

  • Christmas trees must be placed on the street in the morning on the day of collection (not in the garden; the driver must be able to start collecting them immediately). The location must be easily accessible for the truck.

Please note! The receipt contains a unique number and serves as your proof of purchase. Our driver will submit a copy of the receipt so that the total amount is ready for you. 

Door-to-door collection

Our field service will collect the remaining Christmas trees. Please have your Christmas tree ready by Monday morning, January 12, and place it in an easily accessible location (such as the corner of the street). We expect to have collected the last trees by Friday, January 16. 

Then take your tree to the recycling center and place it in the large garden waste bin.
