It’s all over for another year.

And if you’re hoping to take down the decorations and get rid of your Christmas tree this week, there are five spots in Cork where you can dump it for free.

Cork City Council will provide facilities for the acceptance of Christmas trees for recycling from householders in Cork City.

Christmas trees can be deposited free of charge at any of the sites listed below from Thursday, January 2nd, 2020 until Friday, January 31st, 2020.

Christmas tree recycling locations

• Ballinlough Park, adjacent to the Gus Healy Swimming Pool
• Clashduv Park, adjacent to the bring site
• Kinsale Road Civic Amenity Site
• Green and junction of Murmont Road and Iona Road, Mayfield
• Green adjacent to the Sam Allen Sports Complex, Gurranabraher

Illegal Christmas tree dumping and fly-tipping is a serious problem at this time of year and Cork City Council has appealed to the public to dispose of Christmas trees only at the designated locations.

“Any persons found disposing of Christmas Trees at sites other than the above mentioned will incur a fine.” they warned.
