Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Recycling your Christmas Tree + 2011 dead Christmas Tree spotting competition
I know, I know, you haven't even got the tree up yet, let alone had time to think what you are going to do with afterwards. However, if you are lucky enough to be the winner of 6 foot tree, courtesy of HOL, we are also happy to offer the advice on the best places to recycle it after Christmas.
There are three possible ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Haringey, but before you use any of them please remember to remove all lights and decorations.
1. If you receive a green garden waste collection, you can cut your tree into smaller pieces (maximum length 1 metre or 3 feet) and put it out for collection. It is essential that your tree is cut into smaller pieces, otherwise it cannot be collected.
2. Christmas trees can also be taken to Haringey's Reuse and Recycling Centres
Hornsey Reuse and Recycling Centre is open:
Monday to Friday: 8.30am to 4pm
Saturday and Sunday: 9am to 4pm
The Centre is closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day and Good Friday.
Hornsey Reuse and Recycling Centre is located at:
35 High Street
Hornsey
N8 7QB
The entrance is along a driveway between Myddelton Road and Cross Lane, roughly opposite Greig City Academy school.
3. Alternatively, you can take them to designated sites in the following parks from Saturday 1 January 2011 until Sunday 16 January 2011:
Our two closest are
Finsbury Park (staff yard), Endymion Road, N4
The Gardens Community Garden, Doncaster Gardens, N4.
And don't forget, from January, you can join the annual dead Christmas trees spotting competition
UPDATE: The 2011 dead Christmas Tree spotting competition is now open.
Please post your entries below with photographic evidence.

Weird, isn't it? How some people "read" all kinds of containers as litter bins and waste baskets. And take the further illogical step of assuming the rubbish elves will automagically come round and clear stuff left in it or nearby.
As well as in or near planters, I've seen cans and litter left behind phone cabinets; inside wire sapling guards; and even tucked into the wire cages round gas meters.
As you and I have discussed, this may show some (misdirected) impulse to tidiness. Which perhaps can be "nudged" in a positive direction.

This will probably not be the last entry, but I claim an award for spotting the most insolent, what me care? dumper.
Guy strolls out of his house in Haringey Park, crosses the road and chucks his tree onto the paved area outside Hornsey library. Couldn't care less that people were watching.
