Christmas tree recycling
Due to the latest government announcement, it is with much sadness and regret that Pilgrims Hospice has made the very difficult decision to cancel the Christmas Tree Recycling event for January 2021.
With the situation regarding Covid-19 taking yet another direction our upmost priority is the safety of our volunteers, staff, supporters and members of the public within our community. We thank our residents for the ongoing support and understanding to Pilgrims Hospices at this time.
If you aren’t keeping your living tree, please take it to Ashford’s Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate for recycling.
If you subscribe to our garden waste service, you can place your cut up tree in your brown wheeled bin and we will collect it.
