BRING ONE FOR THE CHIPPER
Let us give your tree a second life.
About Our Event
For more than three decades, we’ve helped Georgians recycle their Christmas trees. Since 1991, we’ve repurposed over 6 million trees.
When you purchase a live tree, you make a conscious choice to improve the environment. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, nearly 350 million Christmas trees currently grow on U.S. farms, absorbing carbon dioxide, emitting fresh oxygen, stabilizing soil, protecting water supplies, and providing refuge for wildlife. For each tree harvested, one to three seedlings are planted in its place—that makes them a renewable resource. Dropping it off with us after the holidays is the logical next step! We’ll transform it into mulch, fuel, or fish habitats. We like to call this the act of ‘treecycling’.
Are you ready to get started?
We’d love to help you host a site. Registration for our 2027 season will begin in the fall. Please check back then!
Impact by the numbers
Last year, our network collected a total of 37,342 trees from 124 locations across the state. Of these, 34,773 were recycled into mulch for playgrounds, city and county landscaping projects, and individual homes. 3,364 trees were sunk into lakes in order to provide fish habitats. 6,357 were used for fuel or other uses.
Many thanks go out to the companies and organizations that donate the services, space, time, and materials that make Bring One for the Chipper possible.
