Christmas Tree Recycling raises £15,700 for Hospice

Over £15,700 was raised for Hospice Isle of Man through its latest Christmas Tree Recycling Service.

The charity says over 900 trees were collected this year and 10.24 tonnes was shredded to be recycled, which is the largest amount they've ever had. 

Hospice has thanked its partners, the Post Office, Tel's Ltd and Ballaneven Compost & Horticulture, as well as FC Isle of Man who volunteered to collect the trees.

It now costs around £6.8m each year to run the charity, with just under 80% of that raised by people in the community.
