Christmas tree collection final reminder!
There is still time to register for our 2026 Christmas tree collection in partnership with Just Helping
As the festive season winds down, and the last of the turkey sandwiches are made, people across the country are starting to bemoan the task of disposing of their real Christmas trees.
Fear not, as it is not too late to get your Christmas tree collected by Moya Cole Hospice, who is once again partnering with national charity Just Helping to collect and recycle Christmas trees from residences across Greater Manchester!
Those who wish to have their real Christmas tree recycled can register now at www.just-helping.org.uk/register-tree for collection in the new year. Moya Cole Hospice will remove your tree, with donations welcomed in return.
Once registered, you must leave your Christmas tree in a visible location at the front of your property by 8am on Friday, January 9, 2026, with clear access from the street.
All trees are collected by a team of volunteers, and then chipped for use in pathways and forest management at Wythenshawe Park.
The January 2025 Manchester collection raised £117,000 for Greater Manchester charities, with net proceeds distributed to Moya Cole Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice, Just Helping Charity, and other local causes.
Georgia Vacher, Manchester Collection Lead for Just Helping, said:
“I’m so excited for this year’s Manchester Treecycle Appeal! Every year, our lovely volunteers and supporters come together to make a real difference. Last year we collected 5309 trees and raised £117,000 for Moya Cole Hospice and Francis House Children’s Hospice, and other local causes. With that incredible support behind us, 2026 is set to be our best year yet!
The Manchester community never fails to show up with incredible generosity and spirit, helping raise vital funds for these amazing hospices and community charities across Manchester, while also giving Christmas trees a new, eco-friendly purpose in the city’s parks. It’s a truly special campaign to be part of, and I can’t wait to see what we achieve together this year. Georgia Vacher, Manchester Collection Lead for Just Helping
Corporate Fundraiser at Moya Cole Hospice, Gayle Shaw is looking forward to the Christmas tree collection campaign.
“We hope you have been enjoying a wonderful festive period with your loved ones. We are so grateful to the community and Just Helping for their support of the 2024/25 Christmas Tree collection. Over the last ten years, Just Helping has helped raise over £370,000 for Moya Cole Hospice through the Christmas Tree collection scheme. We look forward to working with them again this Christmas season. It is not too late to book a slot to have your Christmas tree collected right from your front door in the new year,” she said.
Registrations close at 11.59pm on Monday, January 5, 2026.
