In previous years, the council have operated a Christmas tree recycling scheme with residents able to dispose of their festive centrepiece.

Residents were asked to cut their trees down into manageable sizes before placing them in the brown bin.

Those residing in neighbouring councils like East Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire, West Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire may have differing dates.
