Having seen in the New Year, you might be turning your thoughts to putting away the decorations for another year, decluttering and making a start on those New Year resolutions!

If you live in the Hill of Banchory area and have a real Christmas tree, Leys Estate would be delighted to recycle it for you.

You can leave your trees – only real ones and no decorations please – outside the Hill of Banchory Energy Centre where our Estate Elves will collect them regularly between Sunday, 2nd and Sunday, 9th January.

When leaving your trees, please be respectful of local residents and make sure the trees are left clear of roadway and pavements.
