The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste (DSWM) is inviting residents to engage in the DSWM Christmas Tree Recycling Program. DSWM service area customers can responsibly dispose of their clean, decoration-free natural Christmas trees at select Trash and Recycling Centers (TRCs). The recycled trees will be transformed into mulch, available to customers on a first-come, first-served basis starting in spring 2024.
DSWM service area customers, encompassing single-family households in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and specific municipalities, including Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, and others, are encouraged to participate in this eco-friendly initiative.
Mulch from recycled trees will be available at seven locations starting in spring 2024. Customers can sign up on the official website to receive email notifications when mulch becomes accessible. To collect mulch, customers are advised to bring a shovel and bags or pails.
