A reminder that the council collects recycled Christmas Trees on the next green bin day for those who use the service.
Christmas trees – you can put real Christmas trees into your green bin, either chop them up so they fit in the bin or leave next to your bin. Alternatively you can take your tree to a Household Waste Recycling Centre (waste tip). Garden waste collections start again in early January. There is a bin day calendar here:
Other options include a charity collection service:
The scheme is a great way to do something green, recycle your old Christmas tree, and help Nottingham’s NHS hospitals at the same time.
The scheme is a great way to recycle your old Christmas tree once the festive season is over and help Nottingham’s NHS hospitals at the same time.
People from across Nottinghamshire can have their real Christmas trees collected and recycled by the charity’s team of volunteers for a suggested donation starting from just £10. Money raised through the scheme will go towards supporting patients, families, and staff at Nottingham’s hospitals.
Most postcodes across Nottinghamshire are eligible, and people can sign up for the scheme online now. Tree collections will take place from Tuesday, 7th January 2025.
Last year, volunteers from businesses and community groups across the county collected over 1,100 trees, helping to raise more than £16,000 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity.
Sam Cousens, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “We’re delighted that our popular Christmas Tree Recycling Scheme is back for its fifth year. It’s a great way for people from across Nottinghamshire to recycle their unwanted trees once the festive season is over.
“All the trees are recycled here in Nottingham, thanks to our fantastic volunteers, and it’s all in aid of our local hospitals. It’s really quick and easy to sign up online, and it takes all the hassle out of wondering what to do with your tree in the New Year.”
Money raised through the scheme will benefit patients, families, and staff at the City Hospital, Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham Children’s Hospital, and Ropewalk House Hearing Centre by providing added extras such as specialist equipment, enhancements to ward environments, medical research, and staff wellbeing programmes.
