What to do with your Christmas tree
Saddleworth News and Life hope you’ve all had a good holiday break. And it’s time to be un-decking the halls A lot of our Christmas paraphernalia can be recycled but it’s just knowing how and where.
Christmas trees can be chopped up and put in your green bin, if you have one, or taken to the household waste and recycling centre. In Oldham this can be found on Arkwright Street, Oldham OL9 9LZ
Christmas cards can be put in your blue bin or no-blo bag. Cards can be cut up, kept in a safe place and used as 
tags for next years gifts, or used for making future Christmas cards in craft activities for children. Playgroups, nurseries and schools may collect them, it’s worth asking. Otherwise they can be dropped of at the household waste and recycling centre in Arkwright Street.
Paper and cardboard boxes that toys and other gifts have come in can be kept for children’s craft activities, donated to schools and playgroups, shredded and put in compost bins, or put in your blue bin or no-blo bag. They can also be dropped off at the household waste and recycling centre.
Unwanted gifts and clothes are always very much appreciated by charities. Put them in a water proof bag and take them in to the shop. If left outside they could end up in the wrong hands.
