Grinding of the Greens Tree Drop-Off and Mulch Giveaway

Let’s keep on grinding the greens! Keep the Midlands Beautiful will continue its Grinding of the Greens Christmas tree drop-off campaign at the various process and mulch sites located across the Midlands through Thursday, January 11. 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, garlands or other greenery; and 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 13, starting at 8:30 a.m. The pickup sites are the S.C. Farmers’ Market, located at 3483 Charleston Highway, in West Columbia; and Seven Oaks Park, located at 200 Leisure Lane, in Columbia.
