Bookings open for Xmas tree recycling scheme

Treetops Hospice has once again opened bookings for its popular Treecycling scheme.

Between Wednesday 7 and Friday 9 January, Treetops’ volunteers will collect and recycle trees from selected postcodes in exchange for a recommended donation of £15 or more.

Based at Risley, Treetops Hospice provides vital end-of-life nursing care and emotional support for adults with life-limiting conditions, people who have been bereaved, and their families.

Last year, the charity recycled more than 1,500 trees, raising over £24,000 – enough to fund 225 nights of specialist nursing care for patients in their own homes.

This year, the Treecycling campaign is proudly supported once again by local waste management and recycling company Ward Recycling, which provides free skips to Treetops at various collection points across the region and facilitates all recycling, making the scheme possible.

Kevin Deller, national construction waste manager at Ward, said: “As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and supporting our local communities, it’s a pleasure to be able to support Treetops again this year.”
