If you’re a Decatur resident, here’s how/when you can recycle of your Christmas tree this year via the city’s website…
City of Decatur residents can drop off live Christmas trees at the annual “Bring One for the Chipper” event Monday, Dec. 29, 2014, through Saturday, Jan. 10, 2015, at the Agnes Scott College parking lot. The entrance is between 184 and 206 S. Candler Street. Please do not leave Christmas trees anywhere else on the Agnes Scott campus.
For more information about solid waste and recycling services, call 404-377-5571, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4 pm.
If you’re a DeKalb resident, you can leave your tree curbside on your regular recycling day between December 26th and January 16th and DeKalb County will pick it up. Note, with DeKalb recycling, the tree can’t be larger than 7 feet tall. If larger, you need to cut it up before putting it out for recycling. A bit more info here.
Last year one of the local Cub Scout or Boy Scout troops picked up trees curbside for a donation- is that happening again? It was so convenient!
