Need to find a place to get rid of your Christmas Tree?

Chatham County residents can drop off their Christmas trees so they can be recycled into mulch or used as a wildlife habitat.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 7, take your tree to Home Depot at 11180 Abercorn St.; Home Depot at 190 Pooler Parkway; Home Depot at 1901 Victory Dr.; and solid waste facilities Dean Forest Landfill at 1325 Dean Forest Rd.; Bacon Park Landfill at Shorty Cooper Rd.; Wilmington Island Landfill at 7022 Concord Rd.

All city and county disposal centers will take them at other times - just not for mulch. Both city and county normal trash pickup procedures apply.

The program is called the largest tree recycling program in the nation, and has been running in Georgia for 20 years.

For more details, call the city of Savannah Recycling Dept. at 912.651.1967.



-The city of Richmond Hill will hold its "Bring One for the Chipper" event on Jan. 7.
