Allatoona Lake to accept Christmas trees for recycling
The fish of Allatoona Lake will appreciate your Christmas tree.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it will accept organic Christmas trees – no artificial trees, please – to be recycled by being placed in the lake as fish structures.
“This is in support of the Allatoona Lake Fish Habitat Improvement Program, which is a partnership between federal, state and local governments as well as several organizations and businesses,” said Christopher Purvis, lead ranger at Allatoona Lake.
Trees will be accepted Dec. 26-Jan. 3 at the Allatoona Lake Project Management Office, Victoria Day Use Parking Area, Galt’s Day Use Parking Area, Sweetwater Campground Overflow Parking Area, Payne Boat Ramp, Blockhouse 1 Fishing Jetty (behind the convenience store), and Bethany Bridge Fishing Jetty Parking Area.
Drop-off locations will be marked with signs and flagging tape. Trees must be free of decorations, such as tinsel, lights, garland, bulbs and artificial snow.
