3. Why not let Wakefield Hospice deal with your tree for a minimum donation of £10? Available in postcodes WF1-WF6, LS25-LS27 and S75. Visit www.wakefieldhospice.org to donate.

4. The Prince of Wales Hospice will collect unwanted Christmas trees from people in WF7, WF8, WF9, WF10 and WF11 postcodes. Register at www.charityxmastreecollection.com

5. Burn it - according to the Carbon Trust, it’s better for the environment than it is to throw it in the bin, which could lead to your Christmas tree ending up in a landfill.
