When, How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree In Douglas County

DOUGLASVILLE, GA - With Christmas Day come and gone, some people like to remove their Christmas trees right away, while others may want to keep them up for a while. But it really depends on the condition of the tree.

When you got the tree, what condition it was in at that time and how much it was watered factor into when you should take the tree to the curb. Fire officials recommend getting rid of trees immediately or when they get dry. Dried-out trees can catch fire more easily.

Luckily for Douglas County residents, there are plenty of options to get rid of your tree.

The "Bring One for the Chipper" program offers a solution now.

Your tree can be taken to the Home Depot at 7399 Douglas Boulevard, Douglasville through Jan. 3, 2020. Drop off only. The site will be unmanned. On Jan. 4, drop off will be from 9 a.m. til 2 p.m.

On Jan. 5, 2020, volunteers will be onsite. All trees must be free of lights and ornaments.

The county landfill, at 1730 County Services Road, Douglasville, is accepting trees beginning Jan. 2, for free. The removal will end sometime later in January. Call 770-920-3133 for more details.
