Residents Can Recycle Christmas Trees at Olde Rope Mill Park

Residents who want to get rid of their Christmas trees now have an environmentally friendly way to do so.

The city of Woodstock on Friday kicked off its Christmas Tree Chip & Dip event at Olde Rope Mill Park. From 8 a.m. to dusk Friday, Dec. 26 to Monday, Jan. 12, residents can drop off their trees at the park where they will be fed into the chipper.

The following week, residents can return to the park with a shovel between 8 a.m. and dusk to dip into the batch of mulch that will be available for free.

Additionally, Olde Rope Mill Park will also be home to Keep Georgia Beautiful’s annual Bring One For The Chipper event. Residents will also be able to recycle their Christmas trees from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3 and pick up free seedlings while supplies last. Light refreshments will be served.

Residents are advised that flocked or decorated trees will not be accepted for recycling at this location.

Olde Rope Mill Park is at 690 Rope Mill Road. For more information, call Kelen Shostak at (770) 592-6000.
