Spread the Cheer: Take Your 'Tannebaum' to Be 'Treecyled'

From City of Suwanee

When your live Christmas tree is past its fragrant, sparkly prime, give it a new sense of purpose through the City of Suwanee’s “treecycling” campaign, which is part of Keep Georgia Beautiful’s annual Bring One for the Chipper program.

Area residents may drop off their former live Christmas trees at Sims Lake Park, located at 4600 Suwanee Dam Road, from December 26 through January 31. Decorations, lights, and stands should be removed from all trees, which will be mulched for use in City parks. Last year, mulch from more than 1,200 former Christmas trees was spread in Suwanee parks.

Volunteers will be available to assist with unloading and northern red oak, redbud, and dogwood seedlings will be handed out (while supplies last) from 9 am-4 pm Saturday, January 3.

Adult and teen volunteers are needed to assist January 3. To volunteer, contact Tammy Hiler at thiler@suwanee.com or 770-945-8996.
