Holiday Tree Disposal

 
 

Reduce. Reuse. Rejoice!

 
 

The City of Fort Lauderdale makes holiday tree disposal easy for residents. Instead of using drop-off locations, residents can recycle their trees in one of three ways:

 
 

1. Place them inside the green yard waste cart,

2. Leave them out for bulk trash pick-up, or

3. Take them to one of Broward County’s three Trash Transfer Stations.

 
 

Yard Waste Cart Disposal Option

If trees are placed in the yard waste cart, they must be cut into pieces so the lid can close completely. To reduce collection and disposal costs, the City strongly encourages residents to recycle trees using the yard waste cart.

 
 

Bulk Trash Disposal Option

Residents who choose to use the bulk trash pickup option are asked to leave trees next to the bulk pile. To properly recycle trees, remove all decorations, lights, tinsel, nails, tacks, tree stand or any other decorative materials.

 
 

Broward County Trash Transfer Station Option

Residents may take advantage of Broward County’s Yard Waste Program and drop off their trees and at one of the County’s three Trash Transfer Stations.  With proof of residency,** Broward County residents may dispose of household yard waste, including holiday trees, up to four timer per month at no charge. The three drop-off locations, which are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays only, are:

 
 

1. North Station - 2780 N. Powerline Road in Pompano Beach

2. Central Station - 5490 Reese Road in Davie

3. South Station - 5601 W. Hallandale Beach Boulevard in West Park

 
 

** Proof of residency includes a current driver's license/photo ID with a utility bill (water, electricity, cable, telephone) and/or tax notice (name and address must match). For more information about the County’s Yard Waste Program or drop-off locations, visit www.broward.org/waste/yardwaste.htm or call 954.765.4999.

 
 

For more information about holiday tree disposal in the City of Fort Lauderdale, please contact the City of Fort Lauderdale’s 24-hour Customer Service Center at 954.828.8000 or online at http://fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice/index.htm.

PLEASE NOTE: Bayview Park, Croissant Park, Holiday Park or any other City park no longer serve as drop off locations.  Please utilize the above recycling options.

 
 

Did You Know?  

For each real Christmas tree harvested, up to three new seedlings are planted in its place, depending on farm size and current field rotation. Young trees in their rapid growth years have a high rate of photosynthesis and thus produce more oxygen than older trees.

 
 

Help Keep Sewer Lines Free from ‘FOG’ this Holiday Season

 
 
 

Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) include meat fats, dairy products, food scraps, cooking oils, sauces, dressings, sandwich spreads, gravies, marinades, dairy products, shortenings, lard, butter and margarine, and they are a major cause of sewer line backups and breaks.

 
 

Overflows and spills from sewer lines can result in raw sewage entering your home, a neighbor’s home, local streets and neighborhood parks. Or, it can enter a storm drain, which flows directly into a local waterway. Raw sewage can cause health hazards and harm the aquatic environment because it could contain bacteria, viruses and polluted materials.

 
 

Sewer line backups and breaks are expensive to repair and unpleasant to clean up. The following guidelines will assist you with managing household FOG and protecting the environment, as well as the City’s infrastructure.

 
 

• Never pour fats, oils, grease, food scraps or other cooking or household liquids down a drain or into a toilet.
• Pour FOG into a heat resistant and sturdy non-recyclable container. Once the container is full and has cooled down, throw it out in the garbage. 
• Scrape grease and food scraps from dishes, pots, utensils, etc. into the trash before washing or putting them in the dishwasher. Dishwashers do not get rid of grease.
• Use sink strainer baskets to catch food and other waste and empty it into the garbage.
• Never rinse or flush FOG down the drain with hot water and/or dish soap. It does not dissolve grease and may push it further into your sewer lines.
• Never pour FOG into a garbage disposal. A garbage disposal is designed to shred solid materials into smaller pieces. It does not dissolve grease.
• Large quantities of fryer oil, such as that used for deep frying a turkey, can be disposed of at a Broward County Household Hazardous Waste site. For information about drop-off locations, call 954-765-4999 or visit   www.broward.org.

 
 

Report illegal dumping into the storm drain or sanitary sewer system, clogged storm drains, or overflowing manholes by contacting the 24-hour Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000 or online at http://fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice/index.htm.

 
 

Drinking Water System Preventative Maintenance Set for Nov. 28 – Dec. 19

 
 

The City of Fort Lauderdale is temporarily returning to using free chlorine in its drinking water system.  This preventative maintenance procedure will be conducted beginning at 11p on Saturday, November 28 through 11p on Saturday, December 19, 2009. 

 
 

Free chlorination is a common practice for water systems using combined chlorine disinfection.  The chlorination period is anticipated to be transparent to our customers; however, some may notice a slight change in the taste or smell of their tap water.

 
 

This procedure will affect the City of Fort Lauderdale, as well as Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Oakland Park, Port Everglades Authority, Village of Sea Ranch Lakes, Wilton Manors and sections of Davie and Tamarac.

 
 

The City of Fort Lauderdale maintains the highest standards to ensure that clean, high quality drinking water is delivered to water customers. The City's drinking water meets federal, state and local drinking water quality standards.

 
 

Water customers who receive a utility bill from the City of Fort Lauderdale may contact the City’s 24-Hour Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000 or online at http://fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice/index.htm for more information.

 
 

Customers who do not receive a utility bill from the City of Fort Lauderdale should call their respective city’s customer service phone number for more information.

 
 

Community Appearance Board Announces ‘WOW Award’ Winner

 
 

The WOW Award for October 2009 was presented to Nora and Al Barnes, residents of the Melrose Park Civic Association, which is located in Commission District III.

The Fort Lauderdale City Commission and the Community Appearance Board proudly present the WOW Award to Nora and Al, and thank them for enhancing their community and the City of Fort Lauderdale.

 
 

WOW Award Recognizes Stellar Fort Lauderdale Properties

 
 

If you see a house that makes you stop and say “WOW,” or you think your house has the “WOW” factor, nominate it for a monthly WOW award. The Community Appearance Board recognizes residential properties throughout the City that contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood through its WOW Award Program. Board members nominate homes for a WOW award; however, residents may nominate their homes or a neighbor’s home for an award.  Nominations may be for landscaping, renovation, property maintenance, overall exterior beauty and style, and neighborhood enhancement.

 
 

If a property is selected as a WOW winner, the homeowner will receive special recognition at a City Commission meeting, a gift certificate from a program sponsor, and a WOW Winner yard sign to display on their property. The owner’s home will also be featured on Channel 78, the City’s government access cable station, and possibly be featured in local and City publications.

 
 

For more information about the WOW Award Program or to nominate a home for an award, please visit www.fortlauderdale.gov/neighborhoods.  Nominations can be made online!

In 1983, the Citizens’ Committee of Recognition recommended that effective in 1984, the Citizen Recognition Program would be revised to include a Citizen of the Year and a Distinguished Citizen honoree.  The program was again amended in 1989 to include an Honored Founder category effective in 1990.  In  1997, the category of Exemplary Former City Employee was added.
