Johns Creek will accept Christmas trees to be mulched for playgrounds, city and county landscaping projects and individual home use – as well as to provide habitats for fish and other animals – at a tree collection event in January.

Trees can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 9, at the Home Depot parking lot at 5950 State Bridge Road, according to a city announcement.

“Residents are asked to remove electric lights, tinsel and ornaments from the tree, and make sure your tree has not been flocked, or sprayed with fake snow made from artificial materials,” the city said. “Some retailers use natural, corn-based flocking, which is acceptable at the event.”

The public can request free mulch by contacting the Davey Tree Expert Co., 770-451-7911 or by filling out the form at: https://bit.ly/3htwboJ
