Here’s where to recycle Christmas trees in Cobb this 2018 season

The fat man has left the sleigh.

Christmas is over, and it is now socially acceptable and encouraged to throw away your needle-shedding tree.

Keep Georgia Beautiful has been holding the "Bring One for the Chipper" tree-recycling campaign for decades.

There are lots of Home Depot stores and parks around Cobb County and throughout metro Atlanta participating in the effort that turns trees into mulch. Below are the locations in Cobb.
