RESIDENTS can get their real Christmas tree collected and recycled by Harlow Council for just £2.20. 

All the money raised will be donated to the Chair of Harlow Council’s chosen charities dementia care at Princess Alexandra Hospital Trust and Harlow Stroke Support Rehab Centre, with Veolia matching every donation. 

Visit www.harlow.gov.uk/christmas-trees to book a collection or phone (01279) 446655.

Residents who have signed up for fortnightly garden waste collections, can put their tree out alongside their brown bin (or bags) on collection day.
