Yule Tree Recycling Set for Jan. 6
Hogansville families can give a
gift to nature this holiday season.
Keep Troup Beautiful invites you
to "Bring One for the Chipper" and
recycle your Christmas tree after the
holidays.
As part of a statewide effort to
reuse Christmas trees, Keep Troup
Beautiful has joined with state spon-
sors The Home Depot, Georgia Power,
Georgia-Pacific Corporation, WXIA
TV (Atlanta's NBC affiliate) and the
Davey Tree Expert Company to spon-
sor the 10th annual "Bring One for
the Chipper" program.
Troup County residents can drop
off Christmas trees at West Georgia
Commons Mall or one of the Troup
County Convenience Centers
(Christmas trees only, no yard clip-
pings or yard trash).
All trees accepted for recycling
must be free of boards, nails, stands,
tinsel and all ornaments.
The trees will be chipped into
mulch.
As a thank you for recycling your
Christmas tree on Saturday, January
6, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at
West Georgia Commons Mall, free
hardwood seedlings will be given to
anyone recycling their tree.
If you drop off your tree at one 0f
the other locations prior to January
6, stop by on that Saturday and you
can still get a free hardwood seedling.
"This annual event diverts more
than 300,000 Christmas trees annual-
ly from landfills," said David Whitley,
Chair of Keep Troup Beautiful pro-
grain.
"The trees will be recycled into
mulch and people are welcome to pick
up mulch on the 6th."
The Christmas tree mulch will be
available on January 6th at the land-
fill on Greenville Road from 10:30
a.m. until 2:30 p.m., weather permit-
ting.
SINCE 1991, "Bring One for the
Chipper" has collected more than two
million trees and provided one mil-
lion tree seedlings to participants.
Last year, 271,640 trees were recy-
cled.
The program produces tangible
environmental benefits while help-
ing local governments comply with
state regulations that prohibit the dis-
posal of yard trimmings in munici-
pal landfills.
According to Whitley, the recy-
cling sites in Troup County are among
the 400 plus sites throughout Georgia.
The "Bring One for the Chipper"
is sponsored locally by the City of
LaGrange, City of West Point, City of
Hogansville, Troup County govern-
ment, and Keep Troup Beautiful.
The LaGrange Junior Women's
Club and Explorer Post 118 will be
supporting the effort by providing
volunteers to assist with the chipping
and seedling distribution.

uals interested in helping or for more

Beautiful office at (706) 884-9922.

The Candy Cane: the legend
is...
It was invented by
Christians in England in the 17th
century. At that time the gov-
ernmentwould not let people
celebrate Christmas. So a candy
maker made candy shaped like
ashepherd's crook to be a secret
symbol of Jesus.
The three small stripes rep-
resent the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit.
The large redstripe is for the
life of Jesus, that he gave for
US.
