Deerfield Beach Loves Incentives! WORDS:
Monique Webb, Recycling Perks
There are so many ways to get back from the city of Deerfield Beach. You need to check out the opportunities below and participate to save. The City of Deerfield Beach Recycling & Solid Waste Management fleet is designed to focus on efficiency in every way! This is just one way in which the city helps residents save dollars. As you may well know, each Deerfield Beach fleet vehicle has been outfitted with RFID readers which enable them to scan your recyclables container. Lucky for you, everytime that container is picked up, the RFID scanner, tells Recycling Perks to add points to your online account. Recycling Perks is a free incentive program for residents offered by the City of Deerfield Beach. You save up to $25 a month by utilizing the great rewards available on the Recycling Perks website. But, that’s only the tip of the iceberg where city incentives are concerned.
Have you heard about the water efficiency incentives? The City of Deerfield Beach’s water utility is broken into two sections - zip codes 33441 and 33442 are serviced by the City of Deerfield Beach. All other zip codes are serviced by Broward County. Both portions are part of the Broward County Water Partnership, which offers $100 rebates for the installation of high efficiency toilets. In addition to that, the City offers low flow shower head exchanges. For more information on other city sponsored incentives, visit www.http://www.deerfieldbeach.com/index.aspx?NID=1222 Or, for information on your recycling incentive program, Recycling Perks, contact your Local Representative.

RECYCLE YOUR TREES WORDS:
It’s that magical time of the year, where everything shines and glows. Multicolored front yards, decked-out Christmas trees, enchanted parks, glass ornaments, and candy canes. But what happens to your tree when the season is over? Most trees are thrown away to end
Sandra Hungate, Recycling Perks
Oh Christmas tree... ...Oh Christmas tree, what if your leaves were changing?
their lives in landfills. Some don’t even make it there because they become too dry and catch fire. Real Christmas trees are biodegradable, which makes them easy to reuse or recycle. Let’s look at how to give it new life or properly recycle it. Here’s to starting the New Year with the resolution to be a green citizen!
REUSE YOUR TREE
Winter decorations If you’re a crafty person, you’ll find many uses for the trunk and branches. Why not make wreaths or garland to decorate your house? Potpourri To keep the enchanted scents forever, cut some branches into small pieces. Add lemons, oranges, and all your favorite spices to make it a potpourri! Coasters Cut the trunk in disks that you can then enjoy decorating. Just check out these cool coasters we found on Pinterest!

Replant If your tree came with its roots intact, you can plant it outdoors and enjoy it for many years to come.
Garden mulch Do you have a garden? Cut your tree into smaller chunks to fit into a wood chipper. Spread the mulch in your garden or around plants. Mulch helps regulate soil temperatures, reduces water loss, prevents weeds, and protects your plants from the cold. Wood for your fireplace Removing the branches of your tree allows you to expose the trunk. You can saw the trunk into logs, which can be used to burn in your fireplace. Local recycling Many places offer curbside pickup or drop-off centers to recycle your Christmas tree after the season is over. Check with your local waste management department or building supply stores near you. Trees are often required to be cut into 4 ft. portions, some areas may also require them to be cut into even smaller pieces that can be placed in your recycling bin.
Bird feeder Place your tree or a few of the larger branches in your yard as an organic feeder and shelter for birds. Attract the birds by placing sunflower seeds, peanuts, or fruits like cranberries, or orange slices on the branches. Fish feeder Do you own a pond? Sinking your tree into it will make an excellent refuge and feeding area for fish.
RECYCLE YOUR TREE
If you are hesitant to even get a real Christmas tree, you can also make one yourself out of metal strings, scrap wood, books, post-its, lights, corks, a ladder or a tomato cage, and more… Check out some ideas on Pinterest!
