Save a trip to the tip by donating your Christmas tree to a worthy cause in Lancaster


Fancy saving a messy trip to the tip and helping a worthy cause at the same time?
St John’s Hospice in Lancaster is inviting people to book their Christmas tree collections in exchange for a donation.
A spokesman for St John’s Hospice in Lancaster said: “Did you know, booking for your Christmas Tree to be collected in January isn't just a fantastic way to support your local hospice, it's great for the environment too!
"Each year we collect way over 2,000 trees, making sure they all avoid landfill!
"Thanks to the brilliant M.R. Tree Surgery, trees will be chipped onsite here at St John's and at Windermere Rugby Club.
“Then a large amount of trees will also be collected and dropped off directly at Barden Biomass, where they are turned into renewable energy through the biomass process."

Book for your tree to be collected at https://www.sjhospice.org.uk/shop/christmas/christmas-tree-collections/ by midnight on Sunday, January 4, 2026.
