If your Christmas tree is still taking up space in the corner of your living room or you’ve got other post-holiday items to recycle, the annual Bring One for the Chipper event is here to help — though it’s been rescheduled due to expected inclement weather. The event will now take place Saturday, Jan. 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1710 Robin Hood Road.

City residents (commercial vendors are excluded) are invited to drop off their Christmas trees for recycling, along with a variety of other household items. The event will accept trees (free of charge, but all lights and decorations must be removed), paper shredding (no charge, staples and clips should be removed), electronics (some items may have fees), and mattresses/box springs (free of charge, clean or lightly soiled items only).

For a list of acceptable items and any potential fees, visit rva.gov. The event is sponsored by the City’s Department of Public Works, the Clean City Commission and the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority.
