Britain's What's On Event Guide
Christmas Tree Collection
Don’t just take down the decorations - make a difference! Let us ‘treecycle’ your real tree this January for local hospice care.
Let your Christmas tree do one last good deed before it leaves your home!
Don’t just take down the decorations – make a difference.
In partnership with national charity, JustHelping, our Somerset Christmas tree collection is back for 2026! The service is hassle-free: we collect your tree from your roadside in exchange for a kind donation, and local tree surgeons will chip it down for use in farms, gardens, and paths.
How it works:
1. Register online to book your collection slot
2. Leave your real tree outside your property on your allocated day
3. Our volunteers collect it for recycling
4. Local tree surgeons chip trees for reuse on farms, gardens, and pathways
5. Your donation helps fund St Margaret’s Hospice.
Simple for you – life-changing for local families.
Your Christmas tree is responsibly ‘treecycled’
Every real Christmas tree we collect is recycled, keeping waste out of landfill and cutting carbon emissions.
Fun Fact: A 2-metre real Christmas tree with no roots has a carbon footprint of 16kg CO2e if it ends up in landfill. We collected around 2000 trees in January 2025…that’s a lot of carbon reduction for Somerset!
Your donation funds hospice care
Every Christmas tree we collect helps St Margaret’s provide compassionate care and support for people with life-limiting illness, free of charge across Somerset.
This campaign is powered by community spirit – hundreds of volunteers, local businesses, and supporters coming together to turn old Christmas trees into something truly meaningful. Whether you’re donating a Christmas tree, volunteering a few hours, or simply spreading the word, you’re helping make a difference that lasts far beyond the festive season.
