Holly, ivy and mistletoe can also be recycled but decorations must be removed.

People living in the Cherwell district can get their natural Christmas tree taken away in January along with waste from their brown bin. Householders are asked to make their trees available to be collected.

South Oxfordshire District Council will collect trees from January 14 and Vale of White Horse District Council will do the same from tomorrow. Again, people are asked to put their trees next to their brown bins.
