David

Langas with Environmental Partners, Inc. (EPI), donated

the use of collection containers used to collect trees at

Kedron Kroger and Harp's Farm. Home Depot, Kedron Kroger,

Harp's Farm, Tyrone and Peachtree City governments, and

the Fayette County Commissioners worked together to

provide locations and support.

The Tyrone

Rotary Club, along with Town Manager Barry Amos,

volunteered in Tyrone. Fayette County High School

students helped at all locations, and the Civil Air

Patrol cadets worked diligently at Home Depot. Peachtree

City Recycling Center was staffed by volunteers from the

Peachtree City Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, along with

Peachtree City personnel.

The

statewide sponsors were Georgia Department of Community

Affairs, Keep Georgia Beautiful Program, Georgia Power

Company, Home Depot, WXIA-TV, Georgia-Pacific Corp. and

Davey Tree Expert Company. The Georgia Forestry

Commission and Georgia Department of Transportation

served as partners for the program.

By

recycling your Christmas tree, you saved valuable

landfill space. Some of your trees were dropped into lake

for fish habitats. Others were chipped into mulch to be

used in city parks, on school grounds or were given back

to nourish some of your own backyards.

Thanks for

making Georgia a better place to live by giving a small

gift back to nature during the holiday season.
