Christmas in Lane Cove – All You Need to Know

ITC loves Christmas, and we have the rundown on all the things you need for this festive season.

Where Do You Buy Fresh Christmas Trees?

Who does not love the waft of fresh pine needles in their house? A live Christmas Tree is a lovely addition to any home.  The trees sold by community groups are all gone, but some fresh trees could still be left at Harris Farm Markets or Figtree Greengrocers.

How to Dispose of Your Real Christmas Tree?

Drop your fresh Christmas tree at the Lane Cove Council Depot, Lloyd Rees Drive, Lane Cove West – the spot is located just opposite the Lane Cove Scout Hall – do not dispose of in front of the depot.  Ensure you have removed all the decorations and place the tree so the trunk faces the scout hall.

Conditions: This service is provided for Christmas trees only. Only one tree per household. No additional green waste will be accepted. Proof of residency is required. Please do not leave trees at the Depot or dump them around the fence.

Last year we took our tree and the neighbour’s tree with us – so ask your neighbours or friends if they want to dispose of their tree with you.
