Bring One for the Chipper -- Fire Station 21

Did you know that your discarded Christmas tree would take up as much space in the landfill as a washing machine?

Recycle it, instead! Take your tree -- stripped of all decorations -- to the bin at Fire Station 21 anytime between Dec. 26, 2010, and Jan. 15, 2011. The "One for the Chipper" program, sponsored by Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, has kept more than 1 million trees out of landfills since it began in 1984. And the resulting mulch is used in county parks.

Fire Station 21 is only one of 28 convenient locations to take your tree. See the website for a complete list.
