Bookings for 2026 have now closed. Thank you for your support.
We are only able to collect in certain locations due to the availability of our volunteers during this time.
For a donation to St Giles we’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree!
Due to the current weather conditions and to ensure the safety of our volunteers and staff, we have made the decision to postpone our 2026 TreeCycle collections. We hope to start collections from Saturday 10th January, if it’s safe to do so. We apologise for the inconvenience but thank you for your cooperation and support.
TreeCycle is a quick and easy way for you to recycle your Christmas tree whilst helping to fund vital care in your community.
With more families needing our support, your TreeCycle donation will help us to be here for even more people, when they need us most.

If your tree is larger than 10ft, please select the ‘Over 10ft’ section in the booking form and a member of the fundraising team will be in touch to discuss arranging your collection.
The collections are managed by our kind volunteers in hired Luton vans. It is not always safe for them to collect trees of this size, and they may find it difficult to fit them in the vans. We have a volunteer from Lichfield Treeworks to support with larger collections.
We’re asking for donations to help support St Giles Hospice and the work we do within the community. We’re happy to collect more than one tree from any location and offer a discount on the suggested donation amount:
- 1-3 trees: No reduction
- 4-10 trees: Offer of £2 per tree reduction on the donation amount
- 11-15 trees: Offer of £3 per tree reduction on the donation amount
Unfortunately, our TreeCycle volunteers are unable to collect anything other than un-decorated Christmas trees. If you would like to donate your pre-loved goods, please visit your local St Giles Hospice Shop. We also offer a free furniture collection service.
Please leave your tree in a clearly visible and accessible location at the front of your house. Our volunteers are unable, under any circumstance, to enter your property (e.g. house, garden, shed). If your tree is not in a clearly visible and accessible location, our volunteers will unfortunately not be able to return to collect it.
Our volunteers will be collecting Christmas trees booked in between Friday 9th – Monday 12th January 2026. Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide a more specific collection date as our volunteers are working through the entire list of bookings throughout this period.
Trees will be collected from Friday 9th January 2026 until Monday 12th January 2026. Our volunteers will be working through the entire list of bookings during this time so, unfortunately, we are not able to specify a collection day or time. Please ensure your Christmas trees are left in a clearly visible, accessible, and unobstructed location outside of your property. If your tree hasn’t been collected by Tuesday 13th January 2026, please email treecycle@stgileshospice.com or call 01543 432538 and the fundraising team will be in touch.
Your real Christmas trees are kindly recycled at Greener Composting, Lichfield, where they are used for compost for agricultural purposes. For more information, please visit www.greenercomposting.co.uk
