Residents can take their clean tree to a participating Trash and Recycling Center (TRC) or the West Miami-Dade Home Chemical Collection center (For tree drop off only). All Centers are open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Christmas tree collection crews will begin collecting Christmas trees at curbside beginning Tuesday, Jan. 7. Please refer to the schedule to determine your collection zone and pickup week.

Christmas trees dropped off at the TRCs and those collected at curbside during dedicated Christmas tree collection will be recycled into mulch.
If you can’t wait to drop off your tree or don’t want to wait for your zone to be collected, you can use one of your two bulky waste pickups for the calendar year to have your tree removed. Trees placed at the curbside as part of a scheduled bulky waste pickup will not be recycled into mulch.
Reclaim free mulch made from your tree as a belated Christmas gift. Residents who provide proof of residency within the service area will be able to pick up free mulch at one of the TRCs starting in the spring.
