A CHARITY based in Ulverston is saving you the hassle of getting rid of your Christmas tree by offering a handy recycling service.

St Mary's Hospice will collect trees on January 14 and 15 as part of its annual recycling scheme.

Donations are encouraged as part of the initiative which raises money for the charity in its a bid to provide supportive and palliative care for people with life limiting conditions across south Cumbria.

You can register for your tree to be collected by visiting www.charityxmastreecollection.com.
