HITW Christmas Tree Recycling
Recycle Your Tree, Support Your Community!
Collection dates: 10th–12th January 2026 Covering postcodes: TN1 to TN20
Our Christmas Tree Recycling Campaign is back for its sixth year and we are aiming higher than ever.
In 2026, we hope to collect 2,600 trees and raise over £57,000 to support Hospice in the Weald and the local community.
For a suggested donation of £20, we will collect your real Christmas tree from your doorstep and recycle it for you. No mess, no hassle and no pine needles in your car!
Every tree collected helps us continue providing free care for people living with a terminal illness and those close to them. Plus, 10% of all donations will go to a local charity chosen by Hospice in the Weald, so your support goes even further.
It is a simple way to give back, support your community and do something good for the planet.
Register your tree
