Programs

The Green Awareness Fair is an annual fair sponsored by Councilwoman Keys. The fair is an opportunity to educate the community on green products and services in their community that they did not previously know existed. It includes vendor booths, E-waste/ Shredder services, Sustainability Workshops and volunteer cleanup opportunities.

North Miami has partnered with GoGreen-EcoBins for a cost free and aesthetically pleasing curbside recycling bins and associated disposal services, to promote a “Clean Streets Initiative” program for recycling and green awareness in communities across the United States.  Ten (10) new GoGreen recycling bins have been installed along Biscayne Boulevard and NE 125^th Street to supplement existing waste receptacles and provide an attractive and visible new recycling receptacle.

Neat Streets Miami is a County wide street tree program. Neat streets annually awards various organizations matching grants to advance the Million Trees Miami initiative, a community-wide effort to achieve a 30 percent tree canopy for Miami-Dade County. North Miami has been receiving this grant annually since 2015.

In an effort to expand Miami-Dade County’s tree canopy by leveraging local resources, Neat Streets Miami-Dade County awarded the City of North Miami a street tree matching grant for its 2021 Neat Street Project in the amount of $11,600. As part of this project, the City of North Miami has planted 40 trees of different species including Silver Buttonwood (9), Paradise Tree (7), Pigeon Plum (9), Gumbo Limbo (1), Dahoon Holly (8), Wild Tamarind (6). The trees are to provide shade and beautify the community. All the trees are native, hence adapted to the South Florida climate. Native trees require lower maintenance in the long term and may reduce stormwater runoff.
