Disposing old Christmas trees

eesti keeles / по русски

Christmas tree illustration

There are many ways to get rid of a Christmas tree. An old Christmas tree is treated as waste and can be disposed of in the same way as other waste (bulky waste). If you don't have transport, the easiest way to get rid of your Christmas tree is to arrange for it to be collected by a waste collector in your area and put it in a container at an agreed time. You can find information on your local waste carrier here.

NOTE: The Christmas tree must not be wrapped in plastic, decorations, plastic, cloth or any other material. Artificial fibers and decorations can be handed over to recycling centers or put in a mixed waste container. Christmas lights are part of electrical waste and must be taken to a waste collection point.

If a resident of Tallinn has the possibility and the wish to transport Christmas trees themselves, they can be taken to all waste collection points in Tallinn free of charge (up to 0.6 m3). It is recommended to cut up and pack up Christmas trees before taking them away.
