When the Village of Palmetto Bay hosted its first Recycling Drive in 2022, the results were spectacular. We facilitated the recycling of over 6,000 pounds of paper, over 1,000 pounds of paint, and over 400 pounds of electronics along with batteries, light bulbs, and other items that can harm the environment if not properly disposed of. As we gear up for our 2023 Spring Recycling Drive Thru, we hope to reach even higher goals - but we need your help!

Becoming a sponsor for our recycling drive is a great way to connect with the community while participating in an event that helps preserve Palmetto Bay's unique environment. Sponsors also enhance and raise awareness of their brand in an engaging way that strengthens relations with current clients and helps build connections with new ones. See the resources below for more information about this important and meaningful opportunity!

Get ready, Palmetto Bay, because there's only two weeks left until our Annual Picnic Celebration! This is one of our biggest events of the year, and our 2023 picnic will be bigger and better than ever! Guests can enjoy music, dancing, great food and beverages, and plenty of attractions for the kids such as rides, face painting, balloon artists, and much more! As if that wasn't enough to get excited about, this year's picnic will also include an exhibition pickleball game and instructional clinic for the very first time! Bring your family, your friends, and your appetite to Coral Reef Park on March 4 to join in the fun!
