From January 7 to 11, 2026, the municipalities of Panama City, San Miguelito, Arraiján, La Chorrera, and Colón, together with MiAmbiente and the Urban and Household Sanitation Authority (AAUD), will launch a campaign to ensure Christmas trees are either left in the streets or responsibly burned outdoors. During those dates, collection points will be set up for families to bring their natural trees, preventing environmental harm. Collected trees will be processed by specialized companies and turned into compost and other by‑products used for soil recovery and circular economy initiatives. Collection points: Panama District – Atlapa – San Francisco; USMA – Bethania; Arena Roberto Durán – Juan Díaz; Leafsinc – Multiplaza; Panama Compost – Río Abajo; MiAmbiente Panama Norte – Plaza Princesa de Gales; MiAmbiente Central Headquarters – Albrook; Community Juntas of Don Bosco and Las Cumbres; La Chorrera – Parque Libertador; Cinta Costera – Calidonia; San Miguelito – Jardín Omar Torrijos – Los Andes 2; Arraiján – Westland Mall Boulevard; Parque de Brisas del Golf; Colón – Paseo Marino; MiAMBIENTE Regional Office.
