Holiday Tree Recycling at Broward County Parks, Now Through
January 15, 2018
BrowardCounty, FL: When the holidays are long gone but your tree isn't, it's
time to chip in and donate your used evergreen to the annual Chip-a-Treeinitiative. Last year Broward County Parks recycled more than 5,000 trees -
tons of material that would otherwise have gone to landfills.
Residents are encouraged to remove all decorations from
their trees (no decorated trees will be accepted), then bring the trees to aparticipating park, where they are chipped and used for landscaping throughout
the County park system. There is a limit of two trees per vehicle, artificialtrees are not accepted, and no commercial vehicles or garbage trucks are
allowed.
This season's program begins now through Monday, January 15,2018. The regular weekend and holiday gate entrance fee will notbe in effect for recyclers. Hours vary by park; call the park of your choicefor additional details:
