Christmas tree recycling 2026

The Manchester Christmas Tree Recycling Scheme is back, and bigger than ever!

This January, we are once again working with national charity Just Helping to collect and recycle real Christmas trees to raise funds for Moya Cole Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice and other local charities in the community.

Residents are invited to register their real Christmas tree for collection, with donations warmly welcomed. Friendly volunteers will collect and recycle your tree, hassle-free – no trips to the tip, no needles in your car, no waste! The trees are chipped and repurposed to support pathways and forest management in local parks, including Wythenshawe Park.

The January 2025 Manchester collection raised £117,000 for Greater Manchester charities by collecting 5,309 trees, with net proceeds distributed to Moya Cole Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice, JustHelping, and other local causes. Plus, a massive 84,944kg of CO2 emissions were saved. Our 2026 goal is even higher, and with your support, we hope to accomplish it.

Register your tree

The deadline for registering your tree is 11.59pm on Monday 5th January 2026.

Collection dates

Your tree will be collected by our volunteers between Friday 9th and Tuesday 13th January 2026.

You’ll be in the safe hands of a Blaze ‘Fire Master’ instructor who will take you through a motivational Fear Buster session prior to the Firewalk, helping you to leap into this challenge feet first!
