Recycle your Christmas tree and help support our care

We are branching out and encouraging local residents in Gloucestershire to recycle their real trees through our Christmas Treecycling service. In return for a donation, we'll collect your real Christmas trees for recycling, to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder.

Over the festive period we continue to support patients at all of our hospices, neurological centres and out in the community, making sure their Christmas can be spent in the way they wish to spend it with their loved ones around them.

You can help people make every moment count this Christmas and beyond.

This green scheme will raise vital funds so Sue Ryder can continue offering its compassionate end-of-life care and bereavement support, helping our specialist teams be there when it matters. In return for your donation, we will collect your real Christmas trees direct from your garden or driveway and recycle them.

With your help we can support even more people. Your gift, no matter how big or small, will help to make a difference. 

Sue Ryder volunteers will be kindly supported by JB Event Hire and Greenway Tree Care.

Where we'll be collecting

We'll be out and about from Wednesday 11th January until Monday 16th January 2023 in these postcodes:

GL2 0, GL2 8, GL2 9, GL3 1, GL3 2, GL20 5, GL20 6, GL50,GL51, GL52, GL53

Your trees and location

For all areas we kindly ask that you let us know if you tree is taller than 6ft and ask that all decorations and pots are removed. If you live in a location that is difficult to reach with a large van or pick up, please provide access details when registering your tree.
