What do you plan to do with your Christmas tree now that the holidays are over? Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful invites you to Bring One for the Chipper! The 2024 Bring One for the Chipper tree recycling event will take place this Saturday, January 6th from 10 am until 12 pm in the parking lot of the Home Depot, 103 Hicks Drive.
Hannah Bagley, KRFB Director, enthuses that trees gathered at the event will be used to create fish habitats. All attendees will be given tree seedlings in exchange for their live Christmas trees.
Bring One for the Chipper is an annual initiative of Keep America Beautiful intended to encourage the use and the proper disposal of live Christmas trees, adds Bagley.
Remember to remove all ornaments from live Christmas trees prior to taking them to the event. And do not bring any artificial trees, says Bagley.
Keep Rome-Floyd Beautiful continues to seek community members to assist with its mission to create a cleaner and more beautiful community. Those interested in planning a clean-up event in this New Year are urged by Bagley to reach out to the organization, which also offers educational opportunities regarding pollution and litter.
