MIAMI.- Once the holidays have passed, Daniella Levine Cava, mayor of Miami-Dade, called for recycling the Christmas trees that will be collected throughout the county, in two phases, starting next January 10.
“Go green and recycle your Christmas tree,” Levine Cava urged in a post addressed to county residents.
“Our Miami-Dade customers can take their Christmas tree to the various recycling centers that exist in the county where they will be turned into mulch,” explained Levine Cava.
The other option is to place the tree on the sidewalk in front of your house. Starting January 10, trucks will be sent to pick them up throughout the county.
The collection of the saplings will be divided into two phases. The first, from January 10 to 21 and the second, from January 24 to February 4. In both phases the collection trucks will circulate on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Curbside collection will occur only in those areas where Miami-Dade provides regular trash collection service. Cities organize their own collection, the county clarifies on its website.
