People can place their live Christmas trees in this rolloff bin located at The Home Depot/PAYTON TOWNS III

A mix-up with an announcement about Bring One for the Chipper caused Keep Dublin-Laurens Beautiful to push back its annual event one week.

Chip Wilson with KDLB said a news media outlet announced that Bring One For the Chipper, a tree shredding event, was going to be on Jan. 10 instead of the original date of Jan. 3.

“I talked with Georgia Power and the Georgia Forestry people about (the mix-up) and they all decided to move it to Jan. 10,” Wilson said.

With the rain pouring down, the only evidence of a Christmas tree-recycling program was an almost overfilled rolloff bin placed at the back of the Home Depot parking lot.

People can also take their live trees to one of the following six county collection centers: Parker Dairy Road, Nathaniel Drive, Valambrosia Road, Bethlehem Church Road, Rentz/Dexter Road and Old Hawkinsville Road. Wilson said people will be allowed to bring their live trees to the collection centers until Jan. 10.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, people can bring their undecorated live trees and electronic waste to be recycled.
