TODAY IS LITTLE Christmas and thousands of Christmas trees across the country will be taken down.
Many councils have opened up centres where people can recycle their Christmas trees for free.
Repak is also calling on the public to recycle Christmas trees. You can find your nearest recycling centre by entering your area into Repak’s recycling facilities search.
However, not all areas are updated with the relevant local authority information.
Many recycling centres which are not listed in the Repak search can be found on city and council websites or by giving them a call.
Dublin City Council is providing six centres in Crumlin, Rathmines, Coolock, Ringsend, Milltown and Collins Avenue at DCU. The opening times and addresses can be found here.
Cork City Council will have five facilities to recycle trees which will be open until the end of January. Further information is available on the Cork City Council website.
Meanwhile, Cork County Council are providing eleven centres – information of dates, times and locations can be found on the Cork County Council website.
Galway City Council centres will open from Monday January 5 to Friday January 9. More information can be found on the Galway City Council website.

Can anyone tell me where I can drop the wife off for women’s christmas. Have the council any bring centres for that or would that be-little women’s Christmas.
Really you should be able to leave it under the tree at Spar….
Get a fake one…its a disgrace digging up a real tree that was alive and shoving it in the corner of our sitting room to die in slow motion for 3 weeks..think about it!!!
Dig one up?
I’d recommend cutting it down myself, way easier.
I think you’ll find its more environmentally friendly to buy a real tree!
I walked by two dumped on the side of the road this morning, one with the lights still tangled around it. Sheer laziness.
Marley park also takes the Christmas trees.
I already know where my tree is going in the attic
Ah here we just throw them out on the road in our estate. It’s not like the Garda come down the road when there’s a burglary anyway.
Cut it up and put it in your Brown bin … Like Hello !!!!
Here Rene Redzepi of Noma in Denmark shares his idea how to recycle your xmas tree or should I rather say how to eat your Xmas tree
Marta please post a link, sounds very interesting.
The attic
