Recycle Your Natural Christmas Tree 2026

The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) is announcing the beginning of its annual Natural Christmas Tree Recycling Programme aimed at reducing the amount of waste entering the George Town Landfill.

Collection bins have now been placed for the public to drop off their natural Christmas trees at the George Town Cricket Field and the George Town Landfill public drop-off area, until Monday, January 26, 2026. 

Residents are reminded to remove all wires, lights, ornaments and stands from Christmas trees before they are placed into collection bins.

The trees will later be shredded and free mulch will be made available to members of the public. Details and dates for the distribution of this material will be provided later.
