Here is where to recycle your real Christmas tree in Sheffield - and support Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice
You can have your Christmas tree taken away and recycled for just £15 in Sheffield - and all in aid of a much-loved local charity.
Or, for a £15 donation to charity, you can have it taken away and not have to sweep pine needles out of your car.
Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice’s annual ‘Recycle Your Christmas Tree’ service has returned for the festive season in Sheffield.
The Christmas Tree recycling appeal raised more than £48,000 for the charity last year.
There is a suggested donation of £15 per collection and households have until Tuesday, January 6, 2025 to register via the Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice website.
The service is unable to collect trees taller than 8ft, artificial trees or wreaths.
The annual collection, sponsored by glass container manufacturer Beatson Clark, offers a reliable and environmentally friendly way of disposing of your Christmas tree – helping you declutter at the end of the celebrations.
The areas covered by the collection service are Sheffield, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Worksop.
E.ON is also the charity’s sustainability partner, ensuring 100 per cent of trees collected are recycled or repurposed, many are burned to help generate electricity for homes and businesses across the Sheffield region.

Some trees will even be donated to be used in local forest schools around Doncaster and the surrounding areas.
Bluebell Children’s Hospice opened in 2008 and has supported hundreds of children from across South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire, North Nottinghamshire and parts of North Lincolnshire.
Eddie Pickering, managing director at sponsor Beatson Clark, said: “We’re proud to continue our support for Bluebell Wood’s Christmas tree recycling campaign again, helping people across the region to dispose of their used Christmas tree in an environmentally-friendly way, while generating vital funds for the hospice, too.”
Jess Dhariwal, plant manager at E.ON’s Blackburn Meadows biomass energy plant, said: “We’re delighted to once again support Bluebell Wood’s Christmas tree recycling campaign. This initiative truly reflects our commitment at Blackburn Meadows to both sustainability and community.
“Recycling Christmas trees and raising funds for Bluebell Wood is a fantastic way to come together and give back during the festive season.”
