The easy, green and charitable way to recycle your Christmas tree
Our tree-mendous army of elves will collect and recycle your tree for a donation to Children’s Hospice South West*
We're working in partnership with Just Helping alongside Biffa and Ringway to bring you our popular Christmas tree recycling scheme. Recycling your Christmas tree is not only hassle-free but also helps us support babies, children, young people and their families. To reserve your Christmas tree collection, check your postcode eligibility and secure your spot.
Your tree will be shredded into chippings to be used locally in parks and sports clubs, while your donations will support babies, children and young people living with life-limiting conditions and their families.
Register your tree for collection
*After costs, most monies raised will go to Children’s Hospice South West. A small amount will be distributed to charities in the local community
Recycle for a good cause
