Each year, Keep Pickens Beautiful sponsors Bring One for the Chipper to help reduce the volume of Christmas trees headed for the landfill. Bring your tree to get chipped or recycled!
WHAT: Area residents will go green and drop off Christmas trees to be chipped into mulch or used as a wildlife habitat. The event educates the public on recycling and environmental conservation. It also allows communities to put discarded Christmas trees to good use. The program has been a holiday tradition in Georgia for 29 years and is the largest tree recycling program in the nation.
WHERE: Your old tree will be reused as mulch or wildlife habitat. Drop off your undecorated Christmas tree for recycling at the Park’n Ride across from the Pickens County Chamber of Commerce Building and Lee Newton Park (near the Veteran’s Memorial).
Pickens County residents recycled 118 Christmas trees in 2019, diverting them from landfills and chipping them up into useful mulch. That’s pretty good! But let’s see if we can do better in 2020 and set a new record!
