If you are anything like me, you still have your Christmas tree up, waiting for the ornaments to be put away. Or perhaps you've made it that far, but the tree is sitting on your back deck or patio waiting for it's fate. Do you throw your tree behind your house in the woods, or set it out for the trash collectors to take it away? Forsyth County residents have a simple solution made available to them by "Keep Georgia Beautiful". The “Bring One for the Chipper" Recycling event will be held again this year on Saturday, January 6, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. All Forsyth County residents are urged to recycle their Christmas tree at a county drop-off site. The trees will ultimately be chipped into mulch. Get out & recycle your tree early as free tree seedlings will be available at all sites on January 6th. The seedlings will be distributed while supplies last. Local scouts can even earn a tree recycling patch from Keep Forsyth County Beautiful for this event. Each scout must recycle 5 trees in order to qualify. So "Bring One For The Chipper" this Saturday.....I'll see you there!
