BROWARD COUNTY, FL - A
holiday reminder: Our free Chip-a-Tree
program gives Broward County residents an option for disposing of their used
Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way. Simply remove all
decorations from your tree, then drop it off at one of the dozen participating
locations, where it will be recycled and the mulch used for landscaping
throughout our park system. The program starts the day after Christmas (Monday,
December 26th) and runs through Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, January 16th). - Brian Piccolo Sports Park & Velodrome, 9501 Sheridan St., Cooper City 33024; 954-357-5150
