The St. Cloud Parks and Recreation’s Tree Advisory Committee is coordinating the Seventh Annual Don’t Curb It… S.W.A.P. It! program.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the recycling drop-off location at 10th Street and Missouri Avenue.

S.W.A.P. stands for St. Cloud Winning Arbor Patrol. This program is part of the city’s efforts to increase recycling awareness and enhance the urban forest.

The program also helps in avoiding neighborhood curbsides from being cluttered with trees after the holiday season ends.

Residents are invited to bring their live Christmas trees to the recycling drop-off location and swap it for a new containerized tree that can be planted in their yard. The trees will be recycled and mulched on site.

Residents can then select a tree for their yards and receive recycled Christmas tree mulch to spread around the base of the newly planted tree.

More than 300 containerized trees will be available (one tree per family), including elms, red maples, oaks, crape myrtles and palms.

The program is sponsored by TAC and the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program. Parks and Recreation Department volunteers and the Osceola County Master Gardeners will be assisting.
