Christmas tree collection

Skip the tip and support your local children's hospice! Biffa Littlehampton are kindly offering to pick up your tree and recycle it - all for a small donation.

An easy and hassle-free way to dispose of your Christmas tree

This January, forget the trip to the tip and the pine needle explosion in your car – for a small donation, you can have your real Christmas tree collected straight from your doorstep whilst supporting local children’s hospice care.

We’re working in partnership with Biffa Littlehampton, who will take care of everything, saving you time, effort and hassle after the busy festive period.

We’re suggesting a small donation of £10, £15 or £20 per tree. Whatever you can give goes a long way and helps us support local children in need of hospice care, and their families.

Sign up by midday on Thursday 8 January 2026.
