“BRING ONE FOR THE CHIPPER”

 

Bring one for the Chipper

 

Keep Cobb Beautiful is inviting everyone to “Bring One for the Chipper,” and recycle your Christmas tree after the holidays.

 

As a part of a statewide effort to reuse Christmas trees, Keep Cobb Beautiful is hosting over 13 convenient sites at which area residents can drop-off their trees on Saturday, January 5, 2008, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Keep Marietta Beautiful, Keep Smyrna Beautiful and other affiliates will also sponsor Christmas tree recycling. In appreciation of your recycling efforts, participants will receive a seedling while supplies last.

 

Most sites will be manned by various volunteer organizations from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Drop off will only be allowed on that date. No other items will be allowed to be dropped off at sites. Cobb County Parks sites will accept trees from Dec. 26 until Jan. 5.

 

All Home Depot sites, and the Cobb County Vegetative Waste location will accept trees ONLY on Saturday, January 5. To find a site location near you, or to volunteer at a site location look on the web site at kcb.cobbcountyga.gov and go to the volunteer section for more information. Or you may call Keep Cobb Beautiful at (770) 528-1135.

 

“Bring One For the Chipper” is sponsored state-wide by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs’ Keep Georgia Beautiful program Georgia Power Company, The Home Depot, The Davey Tree Company, Cobb EMC, WXIA-TV, and local Keep America Beautiful affiliates.
