RESIDENTS in the New Forest can recycle their real Christmas trees at a number of sites this month.
Locations include The Furlong long stay car park in Ringwood, Brookley Road car park in Brockenhurst, Burley coach park in Burley, the A338 slip road car park in Fordingbridge, Bath Road car park in Lymington, Crossmead Avenue car park in New Milton and Village Centre car park in Lyndhurst.
Trees will be chipped to create mulch which will then be used locally.
The Christmas tree recycling drop-off points will be open until Sunday, January 15.
A New Forest District Council spokesperson said: “Please take decorations off trees first, leave in designated bays only and place the tree as far back as you can get it in the bay.
“Trees left in car parks and other locations not designated for Christmas tree recycling, will be counted as fly-tipping.”
