GO
GREEN by RECYCLING EVENT
Start your new year with recycling! This year Keep DeKalb Beautiful (KDB) is
offering DeKalb residents the opportunity to “GO GREEN by RECYCLING”
at the end of the holiday season. We
will be hosting a Christmas tree recycling and electronics recycling event in
January. KDB is partnering with Home
Depot and Atlanta Recycling Solutions to offer recycling at local Home Depot
sites. On Saturday, January 5th, 2008, from 9am to 4pm, citizens are
encouraged to recycle their Christmas trees during our 18th annual “Bring
One for the Chipper” event. They will
also be able to bring their old electronic items to the Home Depot site for
recycling. KDB hopes citizens will “green-up” this winter and begin 2008 with
a spirit of environmental stewardship!
Christmas Trees and electronics can be dropped off on Saturday, January 5, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at any of the
following Home Depot locations.

The recycled trees will be chipped into mulch or used as
wildlife habitat. Mulch is used for public beautification projects and is free
to DeKalb County residents. While supplies last, all who participate in the
recycling effort will receive a free dogwood seedling. Residents who are currently serviced by DeKalb County Sanitation
Division may also leave their trees for curbside pick-up.
