Bring One for the Chipper Campaign Underway in Georgia

For the past 20 years, Keep Georgia Beautiful has their annual after Christmas, Bring One for the Chipper Campaign and this year is no different.
Each year, Keep Georgia Beautiful works with private sponsors to organize the recycling event.

In addition to statewide sponsors such as The Home Depot, 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.

In Northeast Georgia, you can contact three Keep Georgia Beautiful Groups to find out where to bring your tree.
