Sue Ryder Christmas Treecycling Leeds

Where we'll be collecting

We'll be collecting from Wednesday 7th January to Tuesday 13th January 2026 in these postcodes:

LS6, LS7, LS8, LS14, LS15, LS16, LS17, LS18, LS19, LS20, LS21, LS26, LS27 and LS28.

Capacity is limited, so please reserve your Christmas tree collection by 4th January 2026.

Recycle your Christmas tree this January and help support our care

Our team of friendly, reliable volunteers will collect your real Christmas tree direct from your front door, front garden or driveway and recycle it as biomass fuel, through a local recycling centre or as chippings to be used as organic mulch in our hospice gardens.

Sue Ryder does not make any money from chipping the collected trees. Please make an optional donation when you register for our Christmas Treecycling service, so that no one need die or grieve alone.

Last year's Treecycling collection raised enough to fund 6,671 hours of care, thanks to kind supporter donations

Your kind donations allow us to continue providing support for families in the local community.

• £12.50 could help fund our Online Bereavement Community, offering support and comfort night and day.
• £30 could help fund a Sue Ryder Nurse to give expert advice and guidance to a patient and their family about their treatment and care choices.
• £100 could help fund our education & campaigning work to create a society that supports everyone through dying and grief.

IMPORTANT: Your tree and location

We kindly ask that all decorations and stands are removed, and that your tree is not in a pot. We are also unable to collect trees taller than 10ft.

Please make sure that your tree is placed outside by 8.00am on Wednesday 7th January and left out until it is collected. This should be up to and including Tuesday 13th January. If our volunteers visit your location and are unable to find your tree, they will pop a postcard through your door with instructions on what to do next.

If your tree is difficult to reach with a large van or pick up, or located away from your property, please provide access details when registering it and include your what3words location.

If you require a collection of three or more trees, please call us on the number below.
