When, How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Trees In Roswell

ROSWELL, GA — With Christmas Day come and gone, some people like to remove their Christmas trees right away, while others may want to keep them up for a while. But it really depends on the condition of the tree.

When you got the tree, what condition it was in at that time and how much it was watered factor into when you should take the tree to the curb. Fire officials recommend getting rid of trees immediately or when they get dry. Dried-out trees can catch fire more easily.

Luckily for Roswell residents, there are plenty of options to dispose of your tree.

Join the tradition and give a gift to nature this holiday season. Keep Roswell Beautiful invites the public to celebrate the 30th annual “Bring One for the Chipper” and recycle your Christmas tree after the holidays.

Roswell residents are invited to bring their trees to one of the two Home Depot locations in Roswell from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 4. The two locations are on Holcomb Bridge Road in Holcomb Woods Shopping Center and Woodstock Road across from Publix. Residents are asked to not drop off trees prior to or after Jan. 4. Trees should have bases, lights, and ornaments removed. Please, no flocked trees.

Additionally, Boy Scout Troop 629 will be partnering with Keep Roswell Beautiful for this event by picking up trees east of Ga. 400 for a small fee.

To schedule your tree pick up, fill out the form online. Trees will be chipped into mulch and will be available for delivery to the public by Davey Tree. To request mulch, visit online.
