Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Launches “Bring One for the Chipper” Christmas Tree Recycling Initiative
ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. – Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB) is proud to announce the launch of its annual Christmas tree recycling initiative, “Bring One for the Chipper,” providing Rockdale County residents with an environmentally responsible way to recycle live Christmas trees after the holiday season.
The initiative will kick off on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the Rockdale County Recycling Center, and will run through January 10, 2026. Residents are encouraged to bring their live, undecorated Christmas trees to be recycled and diverted from landfills.
To celebrate the kickoff event on January 3, the first 50 Rockdale County residents who pre-register and drop off a tree that day will receive a free tree seedling, generously provided by the Georgia Forestry Commission, while supplies last. Available seedlings may include White Oak, Bald Cypress, and Catalpa.
How to Register:
Residents must email kcrb@rockdale26.soliademo.com to pre-register. Registration emails should include the participant’s full name, phone number, and preferred tree seedling species. Seedling requests will be honored in the order received and are subject to availability.
The initiative is open to Rockdale County residents only. The January 3 kickoff event and seedling distribution are weather permitting. Any weather-related updates will be communicated through KCRB’s official channels. All trees must be free of decorations, tinsel, lights, nails, and tree stands. Trees collected through the initiative will be chipped and recycled for beneficial reuse.
For more information, registration details, or volunteer opportunities, please contact Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful at kcrb@rockdale26.soliademo.com or 770-278-7052.
