Recycling and waste management specialist Ward has partnered with Treetops Hospice Care to help raise cash by supporting the charity’s Treecycling scheme.

The firm, along with Maple Tree Care tree surgeons, is backing the project, which gives people the chance to recycle simply and responsibly by having trees picked up from their homes in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in return for a donation to the charity.

Treetops provides nursing care and emotional support for local people with illnesses such as cancer, Motor Neurone Disease and heart and respiratory disease.

It also supports carers and families, with all services provided free of charge, with funding largely reliant charitable donations and fundraising events.



Laura McWha, business relationships manager at Treetops, said: “Treecycling is a fantastic way for the hospice to raise vital funds during this really difficult time.

“When booking in your Christmas tree collection, you can choose from a number of donation options, from supporting one hour of Hospice at Home nursing care to a full overnight stay.

“Then you get your tree collected by our volunteers during the second week of January.”

Ward will be providing skips, Maple Tree Care will be responsible for shredding the wood and both businesses, along with many others, will be supporting by giving their time, providing vehicles and signing up as volunteers.

Kevin Deller, national business development manager at Ward, said: “This is an annual event for us, which we really look forward to supporting.

“We’re proud to be part of it – raising money for a fantastic local cause and helping people to recycling responsibly.

“We’d encourage everyone to book in a collection by 4th January and make a donation to an important charity doing great work in our community.”

Last year, more than 900 Christmas trees were collected, raising over £10,000.

All collections need to be booked and donations made by Monday, 4th January.

Trees will be collected from outside homes between 7th and 13th January by volunteers to be recycled.
