Jersey Hospice Care has raised around £41,000 from its Christmas tree recycling scheme.
It means the charity, which offers palliative care to patients, has broken last year s record when over £36,000 was donated.
The annual event has been running since 2005 and the charity says it provides multiple benefits.
It s a great event where lots of good things happen and it has a knock-on-effect. It s easy for people to get rid of their trees. It takes over 2,000 cars off the roads to La Collette and yes all of these trees turn into soil improver that is used in the island. The biggest plus for us is that it does raise a huge amount of money at the start of the year
