THE FESTIVE period has come to an end and it is time to take down the Christmas decorations.

Recycling collection points for real Christmas trees have now been set up across the borough of Eastleigh.

Trees can be dropped off between today and January 17 at the following collection points:

  • Haskins Garden Centre, West End
  • Mortimers Road Car Park, Botley
  • Hilliers Garden Centre, Woodhouse Lane, Botley
  • Lakeside Country Park, Eastleigh
  • Brambridge Park Garden Centre, Kiln Lane, Brambridge
  • In-Excess Fair Oak Garden Centre, Winchester Road, Fair Oak
  • Hound Parish Hall, Woolston Road, Netley

Anyone signed up with Eastleigh’s garden waste scheme can have their tree collected on their scheduled slot.

However, the council can only collect trees that are up to 4ft in length, so please cut longer trees up.
