Throughout January 2025, local hauliers and the Council will be working together to deliver a real Christmas Tree collection service for householders on St Mary’s.
You can arrange the collection of your real Christmas tree by contacting Island Carriers or Richard Hand Haulage directly.
You will be charged £6.50 for this service by the haulier. No commercial gate fee will be applied.
Please note that this service only applies to real Christmas trees, as they can be recycled through our green waste recycling service, and all decorations and lights must be removed before collection.
We are not able to recycle artificial Christmas trees at our waste and recycling centre, instead these will need to be disposed as general waste.
Businesses wishing to recycle a real Christmas tree, or dispose of an artificial one, must either book a commercial waste slot at Porthmellon Waste Site and deliver the tree themselves, or arrange separately with a haulier to have it delivered. In both cases commercial waste disposal fees will apply.
If you have any questions about recycling services on the islands, please email zerowaste@scilly.gov.uk or call 01720 424450.
