Collection morning

Get your tree ready in two minutes

  • Strip it bare

    Lights, tinsel, baubles and hooks off. Even one hook can jam a woodchipper.

  • Lose the stand

    Take it out of the pot, stand or water base.

  • Check your size

    Tell your collector if it's over 6ft so they bring the right van.

  • Out by 7am

    Leave it on the drive or by the gate, not blocking the pavement.

Questions

Good to know

How does CollectMyChristmasTree work?
Search your postcode, town or city to see local collectors who cover your area. Compare their prices and dates, then get in touch by WhatsApp, text, phone or email. Where you see “Book online”, you can pick a day and send all your details in under a minute.
How much does Christmas tree collection cost?
Each collector sets their own prices, shown on their listing. Most charge between £10 and £20 for a tree up to 6ft, and a little more for taller trees.
When do collections happen?
Most collectors work from Boxing Day to mid-January, with the busiest days around Twelfth Night (5 January). Each listing shows the collector's dates. Getting in touch early gives you the best choice of days.
Where should I leave my tree?
Somewhere easy to reach, usually your front drive, garden or kerbside, without blocking the pavement. If it's anywhere tricky, add a note when you book or mention it in your message.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not, as long as the tree is outside and easy to reach. Check with your collector if you'd like them to take it from inside.
Do I need to remove the decorations?
Yes. Please remove all lights, tinsel, baubles and hooks, and take the tree out of its stand or pot.
Is there a size limit?
Most collectors take trees of all sizes. Each listing shows prices for trees up to 6ft, 6 to 8ft and over 8ft, and says if a collector doesn't take very large trees.
What happens to my tree afterwards?
Real trees are usually chipped or composted. Collectors carrying waste must be registered waste carriers, so ask yours how they dispose of trees if you'd like to know more.
Do you collect artificial trees?
No, this service is for real Christmas trees only.
Can businesses use it too?
Yes. Many collectors also collect from offices, shops, pubs and schools. Just mention how many trees you have when you get in touch.
What if I need to change or cancel?
Get back in touch with your collector the same way you contacted them. If you booked online, quote your CMT reference.
