Cayman Islands Christmas Tree Recycling Dates in 2017
Recycle Real Christmas Trees
Christmas trees can be recycled and turned into mulch after the festive season to save them from going into the landfill.
The mulch is available free of charge to anyone who brings their shovel or rake and bags to collect it from the field, and is ideal for spreading around garden plants to enrich and insulate the soil. The processing begins at 7 a.m., with the mulch given away on a first-come first-served basis.
