Christmas Tree Uplift

During the festive season there will be some changes to our bins and recycling services. Find out about the arrangements we have in place.

Service information

Use this service to organise and pay for the one off uplift of a Christmas tree if you have not purchased a garden waste permit. 

How much does it cost?

The charge is a one off payment of £15.65

For residents who have purchased a garden waste permit there is no need to book a collection. Your Christmas tree will be collected on your normal brown bin collection day after the festive break, w/c 6 January. 

Eligibility criteria

You have to be an East Renfrewshire resident to benefit from this service.

For any resident who does not wish to pay for this uplift and has access to a vehicle, we will be placing wood chipping facilities at Cowan Park and Roukenglen park w/c 6 January. This allows residents to drop off their Christmas tree to one of these sites and an East Renfrewshire operative will complete the tree disposal/ processing. 

Please note:

You must ensure the Christmas tree has been broken up and placed in your brown bin for pick up, any trees not placed in the brown bin will not be collected by our squad.
