Sue Ryder launches ‘tree-rrific’ Christmas Treecycling scheme for Gloucestershire residents

 National healthcare and bereavement charity Sue Ryder is encouraging Gloucestershire residents to ‘branch out’ and recycle their real Christmas tree this January. With limited capacity available, the charity is encouraging early reservations to secure a collection. 

The festive season is a busy time, so if you ‘can’t see the wood for the trees’ and have run out of time, transport or energy to dispose of your real Christmas tree, then sign up to Sue Ryder’s Christmas Treecycling initiative. Take one thing off your festive plate while Sue Ryder’s fir-iendly and reliable volunteers collect your real Christmas tree directly from your front door, front garden or driveway.

Real Christmas trees are 100% recyclable and can be turned into compost or wood chippings, which will be used in local parks and woodlands or to generate green energy. Gloucestershire residents who sign up to the scheme will not only be supporting the important work that Sue Ryder does but will be helping the environment as well.

Sue Ryder’s team of ‘tree-rrific’ volunteers will be covering households in the GL2 0, GL2 8, GL2 9, GL3 1, GL3 2, GL20 5, GL20 6, GL20 7, GL20 8, GL50, GL51, GL52, GL53, GL54 1, GL54 2, GL54 4, GL54 5, GL55 6 and GL56 0 postcodes and will be collecting trees between 12 – 16 January 2026.

Last year Sue Ryder provided palliative and bereavement care to thousands of families across the country, including those supported by our hospice and community teams at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice. Sue Ryder's bereavement support includes an online community forum and new Grief Kind Spaces. 

Alysia Cameron-Price, Community Fundraising Manager at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, explained what a difference Christmas Treecycling makes to Sue Ryder:

“Last year our Christmas Treecycling services in Gloucestershire saved 1,579 trees from landfill, raising £36,500 for Sue Ryder, helping more people than ever to access our specialist care and support.”

“By choosing to recycle your real tree with an optional donation to Sue Ryder, your Christmas tree could become the gift of expert care, advice and compassion for those living with serious illness, death and grief. So that no one faces death or grief alone.”

Capacity is limited for this festive green scheme, so reserve your collection now to avoid disappointment. For more information and to secure your collection before midnight on 6 January 2026, visit www.sueryder.org/treeglos
