Bring One for the Chipper
January 4, 2025 from 9AM-4PM
Bring One for the Chipper is a tree recycling program that supports wider eco-friendly holiday efforts. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, for each tree harvested, one to three seedlings are planted in its place. Nearly 350 million Christmas trees currently grow on U.S. farms, absorbing carbon dioxide, emitting fresh oxygen, stabilizing soil, protecting water supplies, and providing refuge for wildlife.
Keep North Fulton Beautiful will host this event at three locations (listed below). Residents are asked to remove electric lights, tinsel and ornaments from the tree, and make sure your tree has not been sprayed with fake snow made from artificial materials. Some retailers, such as Pike Nursery, use natural, corn-based flocking, which is acceptable at the event.
LOCATIONS:
Keep North Fulton Beautiful Recycling Center
470 Morgan Falls Road
Sandy Springs, GA 30350
We will accept trees at this location until Jan. 11th
When you arrive to drop off your tree, please drive to the back of the recycling center.
The Home Depot
5950 State Bridge Road
Johns Creek, GA 30097
(Many thanks to our volunteers from Boy Scout Troop 2000)
We will accept trees at this location until Jan. 04
NOTE NEW LOCATION: The event will take place in the parking lot directly in front of The Home Depot.
Request Mulch for Delivery
Trees will be recycled into mulch for playgrounds, city and county landscaping projects, to provide habitats for fish and other animals, as well as individual home use. Mulch is available free to the public upon request by contacting Davey Tree Expert Co. at 770-451-7911, or by filling out this form.
Now Accepting Car Batteries!
Did you know that Keep North Fulton Beautiful is now accepting car batteries for recycling free of charge?
Recycling car batteries is crucial because they contain hazardous materials like lead and sulfuric acid that can contaminate soil and water if improperly discarded. By recycling, we prevent this environmental damage and also recover valuable materials that can be reused in new products. It's a simple yet powerful action to protect our planet and conserve natural resources!
