Christmas tree recycling scheme hits important milestone

More than £100,000 has been raised for Hospice

Hospice Isle of Man's Christmas tree recycling scheme has passed a fundraising milestone with more than £100,000 being raised since its introduction.

Nearly 900 trees were collected in January bringing in over £15,400 to the charity's coffers.

The recycling scheme is a partnership between Hospice, Isle of Man Post, Tel's Skips and Ballaveen Compost and Horticulture.

Much of the compost created from disposal of the trees is donated back to Hospice for use in the gardens.
