Berkshire charity Sue Ryder - which provides end of life care at their hospice in Reading and in the community throughout the county - is encouraging local residents across the Thames Valley area to recycle their real trees through their Christmas Treecycling service.

In return for a donation, they'll collect your real Christmas trees for recycling, to raise vital funds.

Real Christmas trees are 100% recyclable and can be turned into compost or wood chippings for local parks, gardens or landscaping projects, so residents who choose to Treecycle will not only be supporting Sue Ryder, but will also be helping reduce landfill.

The charity will be out and about from Tuesday 9th January until Friday 12th January 2024 in these postcodes:

OX10, RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG7, RG8, RG9, RG30, RG31.

You must book your tree collection by Sunday 31st December - details here
