‘Grinding of the Greens’ ends today

ABC Columbia Staff,

Columbia, SC (WOLO) — Now that the Chirstmas has past and we’ve rung in a New Year, if you’re still holding on to that beautiful tree you had up to celebrate, today is the last day to have it recycled.

You don’t have to worry about just  throwing it on the curb with your trash, but instead give your tree new life.

Today, January 9th is the last day Keep the Midlands Beautiful is accepting trees for their ‘Grinding of the Greens’ at various locations throughout the Midlands.

Keep in mind before you donate the tree you must do all of the following,

  • Remove the tree from the stand
  • Remove all lights, ornaments, and tinsel
  • Remove from the tarp, sheets, or bag you use to hold it
  • Remove strings, ties, or wires
  • Only donate your unwanted trees. Garland, Wreaths and other greenery will NOT be accepted.

Beginning January 11th, you can stop by  the State Farmers Market and pick up gree mulch made from donated trees.
