St Barnabas Hospice have launched their Tree-cycle scheme again this year, which will see staff and supporters of the hospice driving across Lincolnshire to collect and recycle Christmas trees.
Last year, the scheme generated £27,000 of donations for the hospice, where some 1,600 trees were collected to be recycled into wood chippings that can then be used for biomass boilers, for animal shelters and even turned into charcoal.
St Barnabas will be collecting trees from Saturday January 9 and will accept tree registrations until Monday January 4, or until they reach capacity.
The team are asking members of the public for a suggested donation of £14.02 and to leave their trees in a clearly visible and accessible location on the kerbside if possible, and due to COVID restrictions volunteers are unable to enter a property, including a house, garden or shed.
To register, visit their website where you can find out a list of postcode areas covered, including Lincoln, Grantham, Stamford, Sleaford and more.
This year, the hospice is hoping to raise more money than ever before from the Tree-cycle, with an aim of reaching a £30,000 target, which would cover the cost of running the dispensary so around 400 terminally ill inpatients can access pain relief medication next year.
