Give Your Christmas Tree a Second Life!

Once the festivities are over, don’t let your Christmas tree go to waste, recycle it and help it become something wonderful! There are plenty of easy, eco-friendly ways to make sure your tree gives back to nature and your community.

Here’s how you can recycle your tree:
• Kerbside Collection: Simply place your real Christmas tree next to your garden waste bin on collection day.  If your tree is taller than your bin, please cut it in half so it can be collected easily.
• Household Recycling Centres: You can also take your tree to your local centre for recycling.

Support a Heartwarming Cause!
This year, we’re proud to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices Christmas Tree Recycling.

Trees will be collected on 8th and 9th January 2026, and all donations will go directly towards caring for babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions, as well as supporting their families.

Register from 14th November 2025 to have your tree collected and make a difference this Christmas:  https://just-helping.org.uk/register-tree/
