Christmas trees

So as requested we put our tree in the front garden rather than dump it in the street like half the borough and surprise surprise after 2 collection cycles it’s still there whereas the dumped ones have all been picked up.  Anyone know if there’s a special way of reporting this or do you just use the regular missed collection bit of the council website ?

I put my tree out in the garden mostly obscured by the hedge on the evening before the usual collection day (which was yesterday). Then, when the normal collection had been done, I dragged the tree out into the street, trying to make it as safe for passers-by as I could. But it was not picked up yesterday. It has just recently been pulled out and put into a pile with others of its kind in the gutter. So it will go today. Hopefully.

When I first saw this thread I hoped it would be about the awful, heartbreaking waste of so many trees - and this isn't a criticism of anyone here,  just a. comment on society in general. So many lovely trees just thrown away after a few weeks ' just for the festival of St. Shopkeeper...

And now all the Christmas trees have gone.
