Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful

Did you miss the Chipper? Don't worry! There are still roll offs out for undecorated Christmas trees at Cofer's, the Lexington Tag Office, and the recycling center at the mall! Or, check the leaf & limb schedule or take your tree to the landfill where it will still be recycled (no charge for Christmas trees at the landfill).

Ready, Set, RECYCLE! Tomorrow (Saturday the 9th) is the Bring One for the Chipper Christmas Tree Recycling event. Get your undecorated trees down to one of our six sites between 9 am and 1 pm and and get a free tree seedling (Dogwood, Red Cedar, Northern Red Oak). There will be masks and social distancing. Please be prepared to have it be a little more self service as we'll be keeping our distance (unloading help available as safety allows!) And if you want to keep your tree a little longer- rolloffs will remain available at Cofers, the Tag Office, and the Mall through Thursday of next week. Or put your tree out for your regular leaf and limb or take to the landfill free of charge.

When you’re out walking the dog, or even strolling through a parking lot, pick up any trash that you see. It’s a small step that makes a real differenceimagine if every person across Georgia joined in! Check in with us each Thursday this month to learn about ways you can incorporate blight reduction into your 2021 routine. #reconsiderlitter
