Christmas tree collection starts: This is how it works in Hamburg!

Hamburg, Deutschland - The Hamburg city cleaning will take up the pick -up of united Christmas trees from Monday, January 6, 2025. This measure is carried out in all parts of the city, whereby two fixed pick -up dates are offered for each district. The pick -up is free of charge for private households and is aimed at trees that are less than 2.50 meters and were completely decorated.

Customers are asked to park their fir trees on the side of the road without endangering traffic or hindering others. It is pointed out that wooden crosses that may be attached to the trunk must be removed. Advent wreaths, on the other hand, are not collected and should be disposed of via the residual waste bin.

Details on the collection and disposal

The city cleaning is expecting around 200,000 disused Christmas trees this year. These trees are shredded after collection and then brought to the Bützberg composting plant or in biomassworks. For those who prefer to dispose of their trees themselves, there is the possibility to hand over the firs free of charge at twelve Hamburg recycling courtyards.

In addition, the online platform of the Hamburg City Cleaning (SRH) extends the service by offering a collection calendar that is reminiscent of the collective dates. Detailed information can be viewed on the city cleaning website.
