UPDATED THURSDAY, 30th DECEMBER: CHRISTMAS-TREE DISPOSAL
—
[©EADT] "Christmas trees bring joy into houses in the dead of winter, offering light, life and festivity to those who look upon them, but by the end of the month, they start to go brown, drop their needles, and become a bit of a nuisance. Thankfully, in Suffolk, if you want to recycle a smaller Christmas tree, you can place it IN your standard kerbside compost-bin to be collected with the rest of the green waste.
However, if your tree's trunk is more than 6cm [2⅓"] in diameter, you will need to take it to one of the County's recycling centres" — such as Leiston/Sizewell or Foxhall.
UPDATED TUESDAY, 28th DECEMBER: BIN CALENDAR 2022
—
"There will be no changes to bin collections during the Christmas and New Year period this year, so please make sure you leave your bins out on your normal collection days. As a result, no bin hangers will be left on bins this year."
The collection scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) is for the blue and green/brown bins. You can download the «2022 Bin Calendar 2» here from this blog — or throughout the year visit the "bin collection day finder" link under "B" on our «Contacts» webpage, which now points to the official
Alternatively, if you still have previous years' hangers in your kitchen drawer, as there are 26 fortnightly cycles per year, collection dates will be just one date "earlier" than in 2021 (if you had one last year), or two different from the leap year 2020 (except January/February, three days earlier).
