Christmas tree recycling

The Manchester Christmas Tree Recycling scheme is back, bigger than ever!

This January, we are once again working with national charity Just Helping to collect and recycle real Christmas trees to raise funds for St Ann’s Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice and other local charities in the community.

Residents are invited to register their real Christmas tree for collection, with donations warmly welcomed. Friendly volunteers will collect and recycle your tree, hassle-free – no trips to the tip, no needles in your car,  no waste! The trees are chipped and repurposed to support pathways and forest management in local parks, including Wythenshawe Park.

The January 2024 Manchester collection raised over £100,000 for Greater Manchester charities, with net proceeds distributed to St Ann’s Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice, JustHelping, and other local causes. Our 2025 goal is even higher, and with your support, we hope to accomplish it.

This year’s collection is proudly sponsored by Caddick Construction, helping to ensure that more funds directly benefit local patients and their families.
