Where To Recycle Christmas Trees In Gwinnett County

Bring One for the Chipper is Georgia’s annual Christmas tree recycling program. Each year, Keep Georgia Beautiful works with private sponsors to organize the recycling event. In the past, these statewide sponsors have included The Home Depot, The Davey Tree Expert Company and WXIA-TV. Green In Gwinnett Area along with numerous local sponsors and volunteers also make contributions and provide in-kind services across the state.

The Chipper program involves hundreds of Georgia communities and thousands of volunteers. Since its inception, the program has recycled over 4.8 million Christmas trees. 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 cut Christmas tree to a designated drop off site or volunteering with your local coordinator to collect trees.

Thousand of citizens will bring their old Christmas trees, stripped of all decorations, to one of the many Gwinnett drop off sites throughout Gwinnett  County after Christmas.  Some of the mulch will be used to help beautify Gwinnett County parks.  Precious landfill space will also be saved as the average Christmas tree weighs twenty pounds and fills up almost as much landfill space as a washing machine.

Beginning today (the day after Christmas), you can give back to nature and bring your Christmas tree, stripped of all lights and decorations, to one of the 28 conveniently located drop-off sites between December 26, 2010 – January 15, 2011.
