Christmas tree recycling

This year Dublin City Council are only offering a minimal Christmas tree recycling service. The details of bring centres which are accepting Christmas trees are on the dublinwaste.ie site. The only centre in Dublin South East is the Rathmines Bring Centre at Gulistan Terrace.

Last year Dublin City Council operated a collection service where you could purchase a tag for your tree and it would be collected for recycling. This year the service was quietly dropped. This is another example of an area in which our recycling services are getting worse rather than better.

    Hi John,

    I live in Dublin city centre, just off Stephens Green and was excited to find that there was the a program to tag your Xmas tree for recycling. The excitment was short lived as from your website I found out that it was quitely disbanded. As we live in the city centre and have no form of road transport, I find it ridiculous that I have to walk with my tree to the “nearest” drop off point - rathmines. No wonder people around fitzwilliam square have abandoned their trees on the street! Can pressure be put on the city councils to either bring back the tag scheme or increase the number of bring centres within the city centre?
