Help us make Tree Recycling happen!

We’re looking for amazing volunteers to help us collect Christmas trees across mid Essex, and we’d love your support!

Whether you're an individual, a local business, or part of an organisation with access to a vehicle, you can make a big difference. Ideal vehicles include large transit vans or 3.5-ton tail lifts—whether you use them daily or hire one just for the event.

Even if you can spare just one day, we’d be thrilled to have you on board. Our Fundraising Team will provide all the info you need and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
