With Christmas over, many will be wanting the Christmas tree and decorations down and away ASAP.
Picking your Christmas tree is no bother but knowing where to you can dump it can be a real challenge.
According to Recycle For Cumbria, the best way to have your tree recycled is at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre.
To make the transition from Christmas that little bit easier, we’ve listed the locations and opening times of these centres across Cumbria.
Try different materials to wrap your presents this year. Brown paper & newspaper look fantastic with a pretty ribbon & can be recycled afterwards. Most District Councils in Cumbria can’t accept wrapping paper in the recycling. Visit your district council website for guidance. pic.twitter.com/RaWebBVX13

Recycle For Cumbria also state that if you have a kerbside green waste collection service, you can recycle your tree that way also.
