Christmas is still another week or so away but Keep Cobb Beautiful is getting out word now about the return of its Bring One for the Chipper recycling program that will take place on Jan. 5.

Live undecorated Christmas trees will be accepted from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on that day at the following locations in the East Cobb area :

  • Home Depot, 4101 Roswell Road
  • Home Depot, 3605 Sandy Plains Road
  • Noonday Creek Park 489 Hawkins Store Road
  • Fullers Park, 3499 Robinson Road

All decorations, mesh and strings must be removed prior to dropping off.

Here’s more information information that’s being sent out via KCB:

The chipper program involves the entire community and countless volunteers. Since its inception, the program has recycled an estimated 5.9 million Christmas trees statewide.

The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects and individual yards.

You can support the chipper program by bringing your live undecorated Christmas tree to a designated drop off site or volunteering with your local coordinator to collect trees.

As a Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation affiliate, Keep Cobb Beautiful works with sponsors to organize the recycling event for Cobb County. These sponsors include Home Depot, Davey Tree Expert Company, TAG Grinding Services Inc. and Cobb County PARKS.

Numerous local sponsors and volunteers also make contributions and provide in-kind services.
