Christmas Tree Recycling

The way you dispose of your Christmas tree can make a big difference to the environment. Recycling your tree can reduce its environmental impact by up to 80% compared to landfill.  

On Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 January 2027, our team of volunteers will be collecting Christmas trees across Sussex. 

You can book online, or by contacting our team via email or phone. The suggested donation is £20, but we kindly ask that you donate whatever you can so that we can support even more children in 2027.

We are looking for: 

• Volunteer drivers with a van – to help collect trees from households. You’ll be given a set route to follow, collecting around 40 trees. Once your van is full, you’ll head to the drop-off point to unload the trees for recycling before continuing your route. You’ll need access to your own van, and we recommend bringing a friend or family member to act as your volunteer driver’s assistant – they’ll also need to register their details with us. If you don’t have someone who can help you, we can pair you up with one of our other volunteers.
• Volunteer drivers’ assistants – helping drivers navigate and load the trees.
