Now that Christmas is over, most of us will be taking down our Christmas trees in the next week or so.
I personally cheated this year and purchased a "faux" tree, but for those of you purists with a live Christmas tree, please consider recycling at one of the many drop off locations in Metro Atlanta.
Through early January (most are thru January 7th), organizations and stores from all across metro Atlanta will be accepting live Christmas trees, including the most popular "One for the Chipper" program.
So instead of your beautiful tree ending up in a landfill - or rolling down your street! -- use this as a chance to reduce, reuse and recycle! Several recycling centers are also offering a free sapling, while supplies last.
GEORGIA'S "BRING ONE FOR THE CHIPPER" LOCATIONS NEAR YOU:
- Multiple Home Depot locations around Metro Atlanta
