Keep North Fulton Beautiful on Saturday will conduct two “Bring One for the Chipper” Christmas tree recycling events in Sandy Springs.

The events are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sandy Springs Recycling Center, 470 Morgan Falls Road, and the Home Depot store (with the assistance of Cub Scout Pack 266), 6400 Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The Recycling Center also will accept trees until Jan. 18.

Participants are asked to wear face coverings and remove electric lights, tinsel and ornaments from trees. Trees sprayed with fake, artificial snow will not be accepted, but those coated with natural corn-based flocking will be. KNFB will have a limited supply of dogwood and Northern red oak seedlings at each location.

Trees will be mulched for public and private landscaping projects and wildlife habitats. To request free mulch, contact the Davey Tree Expert Co., 770-451-7911, or https://bit.ly/3b9wBQm
