This year we’re really excited to be joining in partnership with our local waste recycling company AMS (Avon Material Supplies) to provide a Prama Christmas tree recycling service “Treecycling”.
For a suggested minimum donation of £10, we will be collecting Christmas trees from properties on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th January 2026. We will be offering this service to customers in the Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Wimborne areas (including West Moors, Colehill and Ferndown).
Shaun Owen, Commercial Manager at AMS, says:
“This Christmas, we’re proud to support Prama through our charity tree collection service. Thanks to our fleet of waste collection vehicles and partnerships with local recycling centres, we’re able to collect and recycle trees across the community — raising vital funds for a cause that makes a real difference.”
What happens to the trees after they are collected?
After the trees are collected they are shredded using electric shredders powered by renewable energy. It is then processed into smaller particles before being stacked.
The optimum environment is created which allows the bugs to break down the material to create the perfect compost, whilst meeting all compliance demands. After an 8-12 week composting and maturation period, the material is ready to be processed into its final products.
How does this service support Prama?
All proceeds that we receive from our Treecycling service will go towards Prama’s work in supporting adults managing ill health, disability or age-related issues and their carers across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and East Dorset.
To book your collection, please contact the team on: 01202 207315 or email christmastree@prama.uk. Christmas trees will need to be left outside your property on the evening of Wednesday 7th January 2026.
