A CHARITY Christmas tree collection service in Warwickshire is hoping for yet another bumper year.
The annual collection of real Christmas trees is organised by Pass The Smile with The Myton Hospices. In return for a donation, volunteers will collect and recycle real trees. The 2026 collection will take place over the weekend of Friday January 9 to Sunday January 11.
Every tree collected is responsibly recycled, helping to reduce waste and protect the environment, while also raising vital funds to support patients and families across Myton’s hospices and within the wider community. Donations additionally contribute to funding research into childhood cancer.
Since 2019, the initiative has collected 14,190 Christmas trees, raising an impressive £211,507. This year, the hospice aims to collect and recycle 4,000 real Christmas trees, expanding its coverage to all CV postcodes. Each tree will be recycled into compost or biomass, offering a convenient, eco-friendly way to dispose of Christmas trees while giving back to local causes.
Myton spokesperson Clare Cropp said: “The support we receive for our Christmas Tree Collection is truly amazing. Every tree collected not only helps the environment but also makes a real difference to the lives of patients and families in our hospices and to children across the UK. This year, we want to build on that incredible support so even more people can benefit from the work of The Myton Hospices and Pass The Smile.”
