Christmas Tree Recycling

The last day to register is strictly by 11.59pm on Sunday 5 January 2025. 

Unfortunately not. We will not be able to collect your tree if you donate through our website. Please use the register here button to help you register your tree for collection.

You can choose how much you would like to donate. Our supporters are very generous and last year the average donation was an amazing £24.05 per tree!

Unfortunately, this is not possible. However, if you are in the city centre area, we aim to collect your trees first. 

It is with regret that, due to health and safety, we are unable to collect a tree greater than 3 meters or 10ft. 

We can collect up to three trees per registration. Please make sure you make a note when you register so that they all get picked up when we organise the routes.

The best place to leave your tree is where our volunteers can see it easily, as long as it not causing an obstruction to pedestrians. Please make sure the location of the tree is accessible between 8am 9 January – 5pm 11 January 2025. Upon registration, you will be asked where your tree is likely to be left.

Although we cannot guarantee what day your tree will be collected, we ask that all trees are left out by 8am on Thursday 9 January 2025.

Each year we find this does happen. If we have left a card for you to say we couldn’t find it, please call us on 01223 675888 to let us know it has already been taken.

Our volunteers will try to call you if they cannot see your tree. If they are unable to speak to you they will leave a calling card. Please call the number that is advertised as soon as you can so that we can arrange an alternative collection day. 

No, if our team are unable to find your tree they will try and contact you. If they are unable to speak to you they will leave a calling card with a contact number to call if you believe your tree has been missed.

Yes, we can!  There is an opportunity for you to let us know any collection details when you register.  We just ask you to be as specific as possible so that our volunteers can find you with ease.

The trees will be chipped and used in various locations as mulch. 

After costs, Just Helping receives 12.5% of monies raised for administering the scheme. Arthur Rank receive at least 90% of monies raised and up to 10% is given to other local charities.
