Bring One For The Chipper To Be Held This Weekend

This Saturday, 1/2/2016, you can bring your formerly live Christmas tree to Fulwood Park in Tifton  between the hours of 9:00 AM til noon to dispose of it. The first 50 people who bring their tree in will receive a dogwood seedling.

According to the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation:

"Bring One for the Chipper is Georgia's annual Christmas tree recycling program. Each year, Keep Georgia Beautiful works with private sponsors to organize the recycling event. These statewide sponsors included The Home Depot, The Davey Tree Expert Company, Georgia Forestry Commission and WXIA-TV. Numerous local sponsors and volunteers also make contributions and provide in-kind services across the state.

The Chipper program involves hundreds of Georgia communities and thousands of volunteers. Since its inception, the program has recycled an estimated 6 million Christmas trees. The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects, and individual yards. You can support the Chipper program by bringing your cut Christmas tree to a designated drop off site or volunteering with your local coordinator to collect trees."
