🎄 Using a Real Christmas Tree This Year?

If you're planning to have a real Christmas tree, let Trinity Hospice take care of it once the festivities are over.

We’re once again teaming up with individuals and businesses across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde to offer a convenient and eco-friendly Christmas Tree Collection service.

It’s a simple way to support hospice care and the environment at the same time 💚

What is the Trinity Christmas Tree Collection?

Every January, Trinity Hospice runs a Christmas Tree Collection service across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde, helping you say goodbye to your festive firs while supporting local hospice care.

For one weekend only, our incredible team of volunteers will be out collecting used Christmas trees and taking them to be recycled – making it easy for you to dispose of your tree in an eco-friendly way, while making a meaningful difference.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, the campaign raised £24,300 and recycled around 2,000 trees – a fantastic achievement that directly supports the specialist care we provide at Trinity Hospice.

Which areas do you collect from?

We'll be collecting trees from all FY addresses, as well as PR4.

FY1, FY2, FY3, FY4, FY5, FY6, FY7, FY8 and PR4

What dates are you collecting?

Our 2025 collection will run across three days:

Friday 9th January
Saturday 10th January
Sunday 11th January

All trees must be outside and ready to collect by 8am on Friday 9th*

How much does it cost?

Our Christmas Tree Collection service is completely free of charge, but we kindly ask that you consider making a donation to Trinity Hospice in return.

Every donation – no matter the amount – helps us provide specialist hospice care to people across the Fylde Coast. Whether it’s at the hospice, in patients’ homes, in hospital, or in local care homes, 100% of your donation goes directly towards patient care.

Your generosity truly matters. It helps us be there for families when they need us most.

🧾 Donations can be made during the booking process.
Thank you for your support – it means the world to us.

How does the service work?

Booking your tree for collection is simple:

Step 1: Book your tree(s) by 9pm on Monday 6th January using the button below.
Step 2: Once your booking is confirmed, place your tree(s) outside in a clearly visible and accessible location by the morning of Friday 9th January.
Step 3: Our amazing team of volunteers will be out from 8:00am across the weekend, collecting trees from homes throughout Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde.

We’ll collect your tree when we’re in your area – no need to wait in or be at home. Just make sure it’s easy to spot and safe to access.

What happens to the trees once they're collected?

Once your Christmas tree is collected, it’s put to good use in a variety of eco-friendly ways:

Recycled locally: Some trees are taken to a nearby recycling centre to be processed sustainably.
Used on our allotment: Thanks to the support of James Andrew Tree Care, many trees are chipped into mulch and used to enrich the soil on our hospice allotment.
Planted on the sand dunes: In partnership with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, many trees are repurposed to help restore and stabilise the sand dunes along our coastline – supporting local wildlife and protecting the environment.

Your tree doesn’t just support hospice care – it also helps care for our planet. 🌍💚
