Where to recycle your Christmas tree in Gwinnett

Metro Atlantans used to get Christmas trees from the churches, schools, and other independents that dotted street corners and private lots across the area. But increasingly big box retailers like Lowe's, Kroger and Home Depot, the nation's No. 1 seller of Christmas trees, are where metro Atlantans get their trees needs met.

As Christmas draws to a close, you may be wondering what to do with that lovely Christmas tree? You’ve gotten a good month of cheer and holiday spirit out of it, but that tree isn’t done giving just yet.

As Christmas ends, Georgia's "Bring one for the Chipper" kicks off. The annual state-wide Christmas tree recycling program encourages residents to recycle their trees at a designated Christmas tree recycling locations.

Trees are then converted into mulch for playgrounds, local government beautification projects and individual yards.

Here you can find the designated locations for Christmas tree recycling in Gwinnett County.
