When, How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree In Gwinnett County

LOGANVILLE, GA - With Christmas Day come and gone, some people like to remove their Christmas trees right away, while others may want to keep them up for a while. But it really depends on the condition of the tree.

When you got the tree, what condition it was in at that time and how much it was watered factor into when you should take the tree to the curb. Fire officials recommend getting rid of trees immediately or when they get dry. Dried-out trees can catch fire more easily.
Luckily for Gwinnett County residents, there are plenty of options to get rid of your tree.

Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful’s annual Bring One for the Chipper program offers a solution starting Thursday.

Gwinnett residents will be able to drop off their Christmas trees at designated sites around the county until Jan. 20, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Trees collected at those sites, which will be fire stations in all corners of the county, will be brought to Bethesda Park on Jan. 25 for the Bring One for the Chipper tree recycling event.

The event is where the trees are fed into chippers and turned into mulch.

Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful officials do ask that all tinsel, lights, ornaments and tree stands be removed from the trees before they are dropped off, however.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering for the Bring One for the Chipper event on Jan. 25 can contact Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful at gwinnettcb@gwinnettcb.org or 770-822-5187. They can also download a volunteer form at www.GwinnettCB.org. School and church groups, as well as individuals and families, are invited to volunteer for the event at Bethesda Park.
