If your tree is larger than 10ft, please email treecycle@stgileshospice.com or call 01543 432538 to arrange a collection and make your donation.

The collections are managed by our kind volunteers in hired Luton vans. It is not always safe for them to collect trees of this size and they may find it difficult to fit them in the vans. We have a volunteer from Lichfield Treeworks that may make this collection with a chipper and remove the tree for you. We’ll put you in touch with Lichfield Treeworks, who will call you to provide an individual quote factoring in the size, quantity, and distance to the collection site.

We’re asking for donations to help support St Giles Hospice and the work we do within the community. We’re happy to collect more than one tree from any location and offer a discount on the suggested donation amount:

  • 1-3 trees: No reduction
  • 4-10 trees: Offer of £2 per tree reduction on the donation amount
  • 11-15 trees: Offer of £3 per tree reduction on the donation amount

Unfortunately, our TreeCycle volunteers are unable to collect anything other than un-decorated Christmas trees. If you would like to donate your pre-loved goods, please visit your local St Giles Hospice Shop. We also offer a free furniture collection service.

Please leave your tree in a clearly visible and accessible location at the front of your house. Our volunteers are unable, under any circumstance, to enter your property (e.g. house, garden, shed). If your tree is not in a clearly visible and accessible location, our volunteers will unfortunately not be able to return to collect it.

Trees will be collected by our wonderful team of volunteers from Friday 10th January 2025 until Monday 13th January 2025.

As we’re unable to specify a collection date or time, please ensure your tree is left in a clearly visible, accessible and unobstructed location, outside of your property, by 8am on Friday 10th January 2025.

No, if you would like to change or remove the donation then you can type your amount or £1 into the donation box. The booking form requires a minimum reservation fee of £1 to proceed with the booking, this is refundable on request. If you have not requested a refund by January 15th 2025 then this payment will be treated as a donation to St Giles Hospice.
