2008 Bring One For The Chipper Program

Keep Atlanta Beautiful, Keep Georgia Beautiful, The Home Depot, and The Davey Tree Expert Company participated in the 18th annual “Bring One for the Chipper” program Saturday, January 5, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Atlanta residents brought their trees to the Home Depot parking lots on Ponce de Leon Avenue and Sidney Marcus Boulevard to be chipped into mulch by the Davey Tree Expert Company. Twenty-one volunteers contributed 114.5 volunteer hours and gave dogwood tree seedlings in exchange for trees to be recycled.

Request Mulch...

Since its inception, the program has recycled more than 4 million Christmas trees.  The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects, and residential yards. Just as important, our already over-burdened landfills were not further burdened with 4 million trees.
