Recycle your Christmas tree
There are a number of ways Woking residents can recycle their tree.
Trees can be taken to the Martyrs Lane community recycling centre or to a local garden centre that offers a recycling option. Please check with the garden centre before making your trip.
In addition to Martyrs Lane community recycling centre you can drop off your tree at one of the four locations shown below between 5 to 16 January 2022. Signage will be in place at each location.
- Woking Park Car Park, Kingfield Road GU22 9BA

Please note. We can only accept real Christmas trees and please ensure all decorations and lights are removed from the tree prior to drop-off.
Finally, if you are a garden waste customer then your tree can be chopped down to fit into your garden waste bin for collection. The next scheduled collection cycle in Woking is due to take place towards the end of February 2022 and will be publicised early in the new year.
