Recycle natural Christmas trees in Cobb

Through Jan. 8, trees may be recycled for free in Cobb, beginning Christmas Day.

Decorations, lights and stands should be removed.

When you recycle your tree, it creates mulch, fuel, wildlife habitats and other useful material.

Free mulch also will be available for those who request it at KeepCobbBeautiful@CobbCounty.org.

This same email should be used by groups who would like to volunteer to help on Jan. 8.
