The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste (DSWM) encourages all customers to participate in the DSWM Christmas Tree Recycling Program.
DSWM service area customers can recycle their clean, decoration-free natural Christmas trees by taking them to select Trash and Recycling Centers (TRCs). The trees will be recycled into mulch, available to DSWM service area customers on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in spring 2023.
DSWM service area customers are single-family households in the unincorporated Miami-Dade County service area and the following municipalities: Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach, and Sweetwater.

This year, trees will be collected throughout the service area during two sweeps. Do not place whole trees or cut up trees in the green garbage carts or blue recycling carts.
