How do I register to have my tree(s) collected?

Just click this link and it will take you to the very simple form to complete and payment details.

Why does my form not complete when I click on submit?
You may not have completed all the required information in the boxes  or else try to rebooting your PC or laptop, and if you are using Safari on an Apple device and the form fails to submit, please use another device or browser, for instance Chrome or Firefox.

Do you collect from my road?
In January 2025 , we will be only be covering the roads in these Hove postcodes –

BN3 2- -, BN3 3- -, BN3 4 – -, BN3 5- – BN3 6- – and BN3 7-- areas.  If your postcode starts with one of these six listed, then yes we do collect in your road. You can see more information about these post code collection areas by clicking this link.

What happens to the trees?
They are taken to a local recycling facility where they are turned into 100% organic peat free compost. The compost is guaranteed to PAS 100 certification, meaning it is made from 100% recycled green waste. PAS 100, ‘Publicly Available Specification’ for Composted Materials, is a widely recognised standard within the organics recycling sector. It contributes to the concept of the circular economy & means that the material is no longer subject to waste regulatory controls & has achieved product status.

Why do I have to donate online?
Booking online means we do not need to handle cash at all. We are very lucky to have the the support team from Dean at Jackson Waste Disposal Ltd. collecting the trees on our behalf, and we are hugely grateful to them.  Dean Jackson takes the trees for recycling.  

How do I ensure I have the right address to have the tree collected?

Please ensure that the address you give is the collection address. Your details will be given to Jackson Waste Disposal Ltd. so that they can collect your tree.

What happens to my donation?
Approximately 80% of  donations goes to the local and international charities and good causes that Rotary  support, including projects that directly benefit the local community and those that support the people most in need. See our charities page for some examples.

Do you need any help?
