Thanks for this DF - good to know for the future

This from the Southwark website, although given that they think there are 6bn Christmas trees in uk who know how reliable any of their info is!!

Real Christmas tree collections

Each year approximately six billion trees are used to celebrate Christmas in Britain, sadley only 10% of those trees end up being recycled. This January make the most of your Christmas tree and help the environment at the same time by recycling your tree.

Choosing to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark ensures that your tree will be composted and used as a soil improver for agricultural purposes around the country.

There are three easy ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Southwark

If you have a food and garden waste collection, real Christmas trees can be collected as part of your normal household collection service. Simply remove any decorations and its pot or stand and place your tree next to your brown bin ready for collection.

If you do not have a scheduled food and garden waste collection service you can book an ad-hoc collection and arrange for your Christmas tree to be collected. Simply telephone 020 7525 2000 or email the environment team to book.

From 6 to 31 January there will also be real tree collection sites at the following places around the borough

Reuse and recycling centre on Devon Street (off Old Kent Road)

Belair Park

Peckham Rye Park

Southwark Park

No, that can't be 'six billion' !!


Must mean 6 million.

Still an awful lot of trees to grow, acres to spray, petrol to cut down and transport, then throw out.


Consider a container grown alternative next year, one you keep in the garden and repot steadily over several years, up to the max size before planting out.


(There's more info in another thread on this, now in 'ED Trades and Businesses' - someone was complaining about bad ones.)

Just received this link from Southwark council via Twitter: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/article/1519/christmas_opening_hours


Christmas trees can be collected as part of your normal garden refuse, alternatively you can take them down to one of the collection sites [Devon Street (off Old Kent Road), Belair Park, Peckham Rye Park and Southwark Park] or can arrange an ad-hoc collection by calling/emailing the environment team.

Luckily we have a bin store, so didn't feel so bad leaving it out for collection. It got collected when the brown bin collection happened last week. But agree - bit selfish of others to dump it by the road (saw one by the crossing outside the EDT today) or in the bins of others.

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals. The recent BBC expose confirms this  barbers and vape shops suspected of being fronts for crime gangs - BBC News  
    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
