Our Next Recycling Drive-Thru is Coming Soon!

Start gathering your recyclables, Palmetto Bay, because our Spring Recycling Drive-Thru is happening on April 27! This is your chance to safely dispose of old electronics like computers, TVs, and printers along with household hazardous waste including light bulbs, batteries, paint, and gasoline. We'll also take paper items and will shred sensitive documents, and you can even drop off used clothing. Best of all, our drive-thru system makes it quick and easy to clean out your sheds and storage rooms while protecting the environment!


Sponsorship applications for the Recycling Drive-Thru will be accepted through April 8. Click the buttons below for more details or to sign up and be a part of this important community event!

News You Can Use

Palmetto Bay Connect Gives You the News You Want!

The new and improved Palmetto Bay Connect app, powered by CodeRED®, allows the Village to communicate with residents in real time. You'll not only be alerted to emergency situations, road closures, or police activity, but will also learn about public meetings, special programming, and fun events happening in the Village.


Once you sign up for Palmetto Bay Connect, you'll be able to customize the types of notifications you receive from the Village by selecting your "Connect Group." 


Users can choose to receive all alerts or only the alerts that interest them. For instance, one option is to only get alerts about parks events. You can even choose to get alerts for one specific park if you like. You can also choose to only receive alerts about events happening at Village Hall, such as Council meetings.
