CHAMBLEE, GA — If you've kicked off 2019 with your Christmas tree still taking up space in your living quarters, Chamblee is providing you an opportunity to (finally) dispose of this item.

Bring One for the Chipper is a statewide effort to reuse Christmas trees. Since its inception, the program has recycled an estimated 6 million Christmas trees. The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects and individual yards.

Keep Georgia Beautiful works with several sponsors to organize the event at various locations around the state. You can view other Bring One for the Chipper sites by clicking here.
