Christmas Tree Chipper – Drop Tree in FireStation -(Dec-16 till Jan-24)

Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful will once again host their Christmas tree collection event on January 24, 2026 at Bethesda Park.

Drop off live trees at designated Fire Stations throughout the county from December 26 to January 21. Trees must be free of lights, tinsel, decorations, and tree stands before they are dropped off. Visit Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful's website if you're also interested in volunteering to help at the January event.
