Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful invites neighbors in Gwinnett County to dream of a Green Christmas this year. Rather than placing your live Christmas tree by the curb after the holidays to decompose in a landfill, the eco-friendly organization encourages citizens to take part in one of the largest “treecycling” events in Georgia – Bring One for the Chipper 2026.

This event is made possible through our amazing County Partners which include Fire, Department of Transportation and Parks & Rec, as well as our community partners – Jackson EMC and Walton EMC and Republic Services.

In preparation for the big day when all collected trees will be chipped into mulch at Bethesda Park on January 24th, GC&B has issued a call for volunteers and has released a list of collection sites where Gwinnettians can drop off their live trees between December 26, 2025 and January 21, 2026.

Volunteers are needed from 7:45am to 10:30am and must be 14 years of age to participate. A registration link will be available in November, so please check back soon.

Before dropping off live Christmas trees at the County’s Fire Stations, they must be free of lights, tinsel, decorations and tree stands in order to be treecycled.
