An old Christmas tree with no needles

Treetops Hospice is offering to collect your real Christmas tree after the festive period, in return for a donation towards our care in the local community.

The Treetops Christmas Treecycling scheme will run from Friday 5 to Wednesday 10 January 2024.
For a recommended donation of £12 or more, Treetops volunteers will collect trees from front gates or driveways and take them to designated recycling points.

We will collect and recycle your real Christmas Tree

Vic Rocca, Treetops Relationships Manager - Key Events, explained that the hospice hopes to recycle 1,000 trees in January:
We’re here to help take the hassle out of Christmas. No more struggling to fit your tree into the car to take the tip and dealing with messy pine needles everywhere. In exchange for a donation, we will collect and recycle your real Christmas tree in the New Year.
“We have a wonderful team of volunteers with vans on loan from local businesses helping collect trees. Ward are assisting with skips and recycling the trees for us. We’re hugely grateful to everyone who’s supporting the scheme this year.
“Proceeds from the Treetops Hospice Treecycling scheme go towards helping us care for even more patients and families in the local community. It’s a real win-win.
“We’re encouraging people to register their Christmas Tree collection as soon as possible to ensure we can collect their tree in the New Year.”
