Sue Ryder, Duchess of Kent Hospice, is collecting your Christmas trees in exchange for a donation toward the hospice.
Duchess of Kent House looks after people with life-limiting conditions, and supports their families, particularly in the emotional final moments.
In return for donations, they are prepared to collect any unwanted Christmas tree from the postcodes below:
RG1, RG2, RG3, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG7, RG8, RG9, RG10, RG14, 18, RG19, RG20, RG30, RG40.
The recycled trees will be chipped and used for mulch, so none of it will go to waste.
Community Fundraiser at the Sue Ryder, Duchess of Kent Hospice, Georgia Thornton, said: “Each Christmas tree we collect and each donation that is made will help us to continue supporting people to make the most of the time they have left – and filling their last moments with love and care.
“A special thank you to Just Helping, Arborfield Tree Care and G A Butler & Sons for their wonderful support.”

The team will be out collecting between 12-15 January, and you can book your slot here.
It is requested that you leave your tree, undecorated, at the front entrance to your address for easy access when removing.
Working in partnership with Just Helping, so far over 63 hospices have collected more than 54,000 trees and have raised over £875,900.
