Together with East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice (EACH) and JustHelping, is once again delivering Treecycling, our annual Christmas tree collection and recycling initiative.
Just Helping
How Treecycling works
Local residents register online and make a charitable donation to have their real Christmas tree collected from their doorstep in January.
Volunteer teams collect trees across Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney before they are recycled through our network of local farms and tree surgeons. The trees are chipped and repurposed for animal bedding, enrichment and other agricultural uses, ensuring they continue to benefit the local community.
When collections take place
Suffolk: 7 – 9 January 2027
Great Yarmouth & Waveney: 12-13 January 2027
Registration closes:
Sunday 3 January 2027 (IP & CO postcodes)

Treecycle & you’ll support animals at local farms
By recycling with us, you will also be helping support the moon bears’ home at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park.
We’re proud to also be working with Potsford Farm in Suffolk who will use your Christmas trees for feeding their hungry goats, as well as recycling the trees into pieces of furniture and art to buy.
Some trees will also be dropped off at Bramfield Charitable Trust and will be used to feed goats and enrichment for the donkeys!

Important collection information
Your tree will be collected on either 7-9 January or 12-13 January, depending on your postcode (please see above).
- Please remove all decorations before collection.
- If your tree is over 10 feet tall, we kindly ask that you cut it in half so our volunteers can easily manoeuvre it into the van.
- Please leave your tree outside your property in a visible and easily accessible location. Unfortunately, our crews are unable to enter homes or apartment buildings.
- We’ve been fortunate to work with some fantastic corporate volunteers over the years and are delighted to be building even more partnerships this year. Please do not be alarmed if you see a delivery driver collecting your tree!
- If we are unable to collect your tree for any reason, we will leave a calling card with details of how to arrange another collection.
- We will do our very best to collect all trees during the collection days specified, so please bear with us while our volunteers work hard to reach everyone.
A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who are dedicating their time to make this collection possible. We simply could not do it without them!
