The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Caribbean District is integrating responsible tree disposal management into its construction contracts in Puerto Rico. As part of the US$150.7 million Franklin Delano Roosevelt Avenue Bridge replacement project, removed trees are being repurposed at a sawmill instead of being sent to landfills. The initiative promotes sustainable wood reuse while improving water flow, reducing debris accumulation, and mitigating stormwater drainage.
