Keep Cobb Beautiful distributed the following announcement about its upcoming events:
Adopt-a-Tree
It’s tree planting season in Georgia! You can pick up a free seedling at the Smyrna Recycling Center during open hours. The current inventory is listed on this interest form. These are trees that are rescued from properties slated for development.
Recycling Update: Hefty ReNew Orange Bag Program Ending
Reynolds Consumer Products is ending the Hefty ReNew Orange Bag program for hard-to-recycle plastics, with bags no longer available for purchase by the end of 2026. Curbside recycling and the Smyrna Recycling Center will continue accepting Orange Bags through March 31, 2027; Smyrna recycling options will otherwise remain unchanged and will continue to accept all the same materials they do now. Ending the program is not a decision made by the City of Smyrna or Keep Smyrna Beautiful, which remain committed to providing effective recycling programs, protecting the environment and keeping Smyrna clean, green, and beautiful.
Pollinator Pocket Planting at the Reed House
Last month, KSB volunteers installed the Pollinator Pocket located at the Reed House. Pollinator Pockets are small, replicable gardens designed to support the lifecycle of native pollinators. This is important because pollinators are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat and are a critical part of a healthy ecosystem! This is KSB’s third Pollinator Pocket with a goal of installing one in every ward of the city. Learn more.
Save the Date: Bring One for the Chipper
The holiday season is just kicking off, which is the perfect time to mark your calendar for KSB’s Bring One for the Chipper tree recycling, which will be held again at Home Depot (2450 Cumberland Pkwy) from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, January 9, 2027.
