What is this?

Wednesday, December 23, 2009


Every year tons of discarded holiday wrapping paper and trees needlessly make it to county landfills. Much of it can either be reused or recycled, saving Mother Nature countless ‘hundreds of years’ trying to break this stuff down. Let’s work together to reduce this year’s holiday carbon footprint.
_______________

Wrapping paper and the tubes it comes in are recyclable. Although tissue paper isn’t recyclable, it can be straightened and used again and again.  The same goes for gift bags, which are often too beautiful to throw away and, if reused enough times, some gift bags become collectibles.

Certain metallic wrapping papers are non-recyclable and tissue paper doesn't contain enough fibrous substance to make it a recyclable product.

As for your Christmas tree – The Broward County Parks and Recreation Division is committed to helping recycle trees through their annual Chip-A-Tree Program where trees are turned into landscape mulch and used throughout county parks. IT COSTS NOTHING TO DROP OFF YOUR TREE!

This year’s program begins on December 26, 2009 and ends January 24, 2010. Locations include:

     Fern Forest Nature Center – 201 Lyons Rd. South, Coconut Creek – closed Tues. & Weds.
     Tradewinds Park 3600 W. Sample Rd., Coconut Creek – open 7 days.

RULES:

 Drop trees off between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on days parks are open.
 Remove ALL decorations, wires, plastic, tree stands, etc.
 NO TRUCKLOADS of trees. Personal vehicles only.
 Artificial trees not accepted.
 All sites closed no trees accepted on January 1, 15 and 18.
