Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful to host “Bring One for the Chipper” Jan. 9

Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB) and the Conyers Home Depot will join together to host the “Bring One for the Chipper” program on Saturday Jan. 9, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Home Depot, located at 1330 Dogwood Drive, Conyers.

The Chipper program offers citizens the opportunity to dispose of their cut Christmas trees at a central location in the community, while recycling the trees for reuse for a good cause.

Across the state, thousands of volunteers in hundreds of Georgia communities come together for the Chipper event. Since its inception 30 years ago, in 1991, the program has collected more than 6 million trees for beneficial reuse.  The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects and individual yards.

For more information on this or other community recycling projects, contact Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful at 770-278-7052 or by email at kcrb@rockdalecountyga.gov.
