Grinding of the Greens Tree Drop-Off & Mulch Giveaway

It’s time to grind! From Friday, December 26, through Thursday, January 8, Keep the Midlands Beautiful will host its Grinding of the Greens Christmas tree drop-off at various process and mulch sites across the Midlands. Participants are asked to honor the following guidelines: Remove all lights, tinsel and ornaments from the tree; remove the tree from the stand; drop off trees only—no wreaths, garland or other greenery; remove any string, wire, or ties on the tree. The free mulch produced will be available to the public, on a first-come, first-served basis, on Saturday, January 10, starting at 8:30 a.m. The mulch pickup sites are the S.C. Farmers’ Market, 3483 Charleston Highway, West Columbia, and Seven Oaks Park, 200 Leisure Lane, Columbia.
