Roswell, GA (December 19, 2006)-Join the tradition and give a gift to nature this holiday season! Keep Roswell Beautiful invites you to celebrate the 17th annual "Bring One for the Chipper" and recycle your Christmas tree after the holidays. The event will be held Saturday, January 6, 2007 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

As part of a statewide effort to reuse Christmas trees, Keep Roswell Beautiful has joined with sponsors The Home Depot, 11 Alive, The Davey Tree Expert Company, Keep Georgia Beautiful, Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell, Starbucks, Georgia Beverage Association and SuperTarget to sponsor the "Bring One for the Chipper" program.

Roswell residents are invited to bring their trees to one of the two Home Depot locations in Roswell: Holcomb Bridge Road in Holcomb Woods Shopping Center and Woodstock Road across from Publix. Trees will be chipped into mulch and will be available for delivery to the public by Davey Tree. Residents are asked to please not drop off trees prior to the event.

In appreciation of their recycling efforts, participants will also receive a free dogwood seedling, while supplies last.

Since 1991, "Bring One for the Chipper", has collected over 4.5 million trees and provided over one million tree seedlings to participants. Last year, more than 10,000 trees were collected in Roswell.
