Sadly, no local charity has offered a tree collection service, in return for a donation, this year.
Therefore what are those who still cling to the traditional custom of a real Christmas tree to do after Twelfth Night? The evidence points to a fly-tipping solution: a number of discarded trees are lying on pavements and verges. But for law-abiding citizens this cannot be an option

Hide AdI hope this letter will prompt a charity to organise a tree collection after next Christmas in the Hastings area. It is a way of raising funds that also serves a community need and there are, or were, organisations looking for such trees.
The sand dunes at Camber have old Christmas trees buried within them to help against erosion, for example.
