/If you have a Christmas tree that you need to dispose of, please could you take your tree down to the P1 level of the Car Park (using the Goods Lift) and leave it near to the double doors of your building entrance, where the recycling bags and other large items are generally left for collection.
Once you have taken your tree down to P1 please then inform your concierge, who will notify the waste operative team. Please could you also tidy up any trails of pine needles left in your tree's wake - thank you!
The trees wil be collected by Tower Hamlets council between 6th - 19th January 2020: if you have a tree to dispose of after this date you will need to take it to the recycling centre yourself!
