Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management announces Christmas tree mulch availability

The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste (DSWM) encouraged all residents to participate in the DSWM “Go Green, and Recycle Your Evergreen” Christmas Tree Recycling Program this past holiday season. Residents were able to drop off their Christmas trees at one of the DSWM’s participating Trash and Recycling Centers (TRCs) or the West Miami-Dade Home Chemical Collection Center. Christmas trees were also collected from the curbside of households within the DSWM service area during several collection sweeps. The evergreens have been chipped, and the material is being made available to DSWM residential waste service area customers, free of charge.

DSWM residential waste service area customers interested in picking up Christmas tree mulch must bring their own bags/containers and tools to scoop the mulch. The mulch is available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Mulch is only available for DSWM residential waste service customers. No commercial mulch pickup is permitted.

Mulch will be available at the following nine TRC locations (open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) beginning April 15, 2024:

• Eureka Drive – 9401 SW 184th St.
