Age UK Lancashire has teamed up with Ribble Rivers Trust to collect Christmas trees from residents after the holidays.
Age UK Lancashire is asking people to book their Christmas tree(s) to be collected. These must be real trees and not artificial.
This year, the Christmas tree collection will take place on January 6 and 7, and offers a hassle-free solution for residents to dispose of their Christmas trees while contributing to a meaningful cause.
A team of volunteers will pick up your Christmas tree from your doorstep on the date you choose.
Collections will take place in the Ribble Valley, Great Harwood, Rishton, Accrington, Altham, Oswaldtwistle.
The initiative aims to promote environmental responsibility by recycling trees but also plays a role in supporting the organisation’s mission to enhance the lives of older people in Lancashire by giving a minimum donation of £10 for a collection.
In January 2023, Age UK Lancashire collected more than 100 Christmas trees which went towards the restoration of Hasgill Beck’s Banks, near Gisburn Forest.
The Hasgill brash bundling project aims to combat severe erosion and enhance the natural beauty and biodiversity of the area.
