You donate and we collect! On Saturday 9th January Weston Hospicecare will be sending out their Christmas Tree collecting elves – saving you the mess in the car, and the queue at the tip. Our annual Christmas Tree collection and recycling event helps raise vital funds for Weston Hospicecare, with last year around almost 950 trees being collected and raising the charity over £20,000.
This year’s Pines For Pounds Tree Collection is sponsored by Howards Motor Group, who together with Weston-super-Mare Lions, Mendip Rotary, Wrington Vale Rotary, together with local businesses including Enterprise, Medequip, PDCL, AGM Services, Weston Support Services, GC Gardens, and Magic Cleaning Solutions will be collecting your trees this January.
Tree collections will take place on Saturday 9 January 2027, with collections covering a number of postcodes across North Somerset within Weston Hospicecare’s service area. (Please see below for the full list of tree collection postcodes.)
All tree collections must be booked in advance. To book a tree collection, please read through the following FAQs to make sure your tree can definitely be collected successfully on the day, and complete the form further down on this page.

Please note – postcodes apply to where the tree will be collected from, not the postcode of the person registering tree collection.
Why is my postcode not on the collection list?Pines for pounds is supported by volunteers meaning that we are limited by number of trees we can collect, and are therefore unable to collect from all postcodes within our service area.
What do I need to do on the day?All Christmas Trees must be ready by 8am on the day of collection (Saturday 9 January) and must be visible from the main road (ie at the end of your driveway). Trees not visible risk not being collected. Please note that tree collectors are not permitted to enter private property.
How tall can my tree be?We ask that you tree is no bigger that 7ft due to size of our collection vehicles. Any trees larger than this will need to be cut by yours
