Say goodbye to your Christmas tree!

Local people are getting behind a very different fundraising initiative for a local charity.

Hospice Isle of Man is picking up Christmas trees and recycling them through Ballaneven compost in Peel.

Initially collection sites were limited to see what the demand would be like.

More than 200 people have now registered for collection, and with each donating at least £5 it is hoped the final

amount raised will reach over £2000.

Organiser Terri Cook says it is a unique idea which has really taken off.

If you would like your Christmas tree picked up, you need to register with charityxmastreecollection.com.
