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.

UPDATE:  Apparently recycling will be available until Jan 10th via the city.  (I just am cursed with Public Works announcements lately, it seems!)

Answering CSD Mom’s question…

Decatur’s well-known Christmas tree recycling event, “Bring One to the Chipper”, begins next Monday, December 28th and runs through January 2nd.

Where is this great graveyard of trees?  From the city’s website…

Residents can drop off live Christmas trees at the Christmas Tree Recycling Center in the Agnes Scott parking lot. The entrance is between 184 and 206 S. Candler St.

The entrance is a bit hidden, so unless there are more prominent signs this year, don’t be surprised if you have to do a couple u-turns before you find it.

“Bring One to the Chipper” is unaffiliated with Chipper Jones and the Atlanta Braves.

Andisheh provides us with this slightly disturbing pic of a pile of soon-to-be recycled Decatur Christmas trees.  Being multi-talented, he also provided the post title.

We didn’t get ours down in time to make Decatur’s recycling deadline.  Guess we’ll have to drop it off at Home Depot?
