Christmas Tree Recycling

Our Christmas tree collection is a simple, eco-friendly way to recycle your real Christmas tree while supporting local youth homelessness charity. You register your tree online, leave it outside by 8am on your collection day, and our amazing volunteers collect and recycle it for you, all in return for a kind donation to Roundabout.

We collect Christmas trees across Sheffield and Rotherham, covering the following postcode districts: S20, S25, S26, S60, S61, S62, S63, S64, S65, S66, S73, S80 and S81.

This includes areas such as Wickersley, Bramley, Whiston, Brinsworth, Kimberworth, Rawmarsh, Maltby, Dinnington, Aston, Kiveton, Laughton, Thurcroft, Catcliffe, Herringthorpe, Swinton, Wath, Mexborough, Worksop, Carlton-in-Lindrick and more.

Volunteers will be collecting Christmas trees Wednesday 6^th January – Friday 8th January 2027.

Registration for Christmas tree collection closes on Saturday 2nd January 11:59pm.

Simply fill in the form on our website.

We don’t charge a fee, but we kindly ask for a voluntary donation. Every penny helps us to ensure no young person experiences homelessness is Sheffield and Rotherham, and supports event costs like van hire, fuel and equipment.

No, you don’t need to be in. Just make sure your tree is outside and clearly visible.

Place your tree:

• Outside your property
• Somewhere clear and easy to see
• Not behind locked gates
• Not blocking pavements or driveways

Volunteers cannot enter homes, rear gardens, or gated driveways.

Please:

• Remove all decorations, lights and tinsel
• Remove the base or pot (we can’t recycle these)
• Ensure it’s under 8ft — or cut it down to size
• Leave it out by 8am on collection days

Your tree will be collected sometime between 6^th-9^th January 2027.

Because volunteers collect hundreds of trees on planned routes, we can’t give a specific day or time.

First, check your registration details and the date range.

If it’s still within the collection window, it may just be that volunteers haven’t reached your route yet.

If your tree has been missed after the final day, contact us using the details in your confirmation email.

If we experience dangerous weather conditions, collections may need to be postponed. If this happens, you’ll receive an email with updated dates.

All collected Christmas trees are chipped and reused locally, for example, on sports fields, in parks, or as mulch for community spaces. It’s a greener way to farewell your tree.

Donations are given directly to Roundabout, your local youth homelessness charity.

Yes! We’d love your help.
