Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from Keep Walton Beautiful!

We hope that you've had a beautiful holiday season and we want to wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year in 2013.

Are you making New Year's Resolutions?  If so, here's one for ya: Recycle MORE in 2013!  You can even take a pledge to recycle more at this site.  You can sign up as an individual or as a business and vow to be better about recycling.  Although we've already had our America Recycles Day event for the year (it was 17 November 2012), we encourage you to take a look at this site because it is helpful year round.  They offer tons of great tools to help you with your recycling habits.  Also, you can sign up with Catalog Choice to stop receiving all that junk mail that we throw away anyway.

Looking for something to do with your LIVE Christmas trees?  You can recycle them here, at our main center, or at any of our convenience sites.  We are accepting them NOW through Saturday, January 5th.  The trees will be chipped into mulch and used by the city and county in our parks and other public areas.  In the past, seedlings were available to all those who participated.  However, this year, we will not be giving away seedlings.  If you wish to order your own, you can do so through your local Georgia Forestry Commission office or by visiting this website.

Beth Pawlicki, with Pathway to Empowerment Youth Groups, shared this link (see below) with us.  One of her students, Natalie, found this awesome resource for Recycled Craft ideas.  We thought it would be a great site for ideas on homemade Christmas gifts!  They also have ideas for ways to recycle/reuse old Christmas cards!  Check it out and let us know what you think!
