A popular service to help people out with their Christmas trees at the end of the festive season is returning once more.

Hospice Isle of Man has announced its Christmas Tree Recycling Service is back for 2020 with support from Isle of Man Post Office, Tels Ltd. and Ballaneven Compost.

635 trees were collected and shredded to be used as compost during last year's initiative, raising £9,000 in the process.

Anyone wanting to register to have their tree collected is invited to sign up at www.hospice.org.im/christmastreerecycle .
