Residential Curbside Recycling Collection Schedule / Map

Standard issue recycling carts are 65-gallons. If you were previously issued a smaller cart, you can request a replacement by contacting Republic Services at 954-583-1830. Only carts provided by the City may be used. The carts should be placed at the curb prior to 7 a.m. on your service day.

To ensure for proper and efficient collection, the carts must be placed correctly – facing the street, at least three feet away from obstacles like another cart, mailboxes, fire hydrants, trees, etc.

Recycling Collection:  What Items are Accepted?

All accepted recyclable items can be placed individually in your recycling cart (do not bag in plastic).

DO NOT PLACE RECYCLING ITEMS IN PLASTIC BAGS. THE PROCESSING FACILITY DOES NOT ACCEPT BAGGED RECYCLING. 

Items accepted in your recycling cart include:

• Paper: Newspapers, inserts, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, office paper, soft-covered books, file folders, soda cartons, and crushed boxes including tissue boxes and those from food items such as cereal, rice and pasta. Pizza boxes are accepted as long as there are no liners or wax paper glued to the box and it is free of grease, oil or food residue.
• Plastic: Recycle plastics #1 through # 7. Look on the bottom of containers for a number inside the recycling arrows. Containers such as soda bottles, milk, water, detergent and shampoo bottles. Bottles should be clean and dry.

Food products are hazardous to the workers in the recycling plant sorting materials; they also draw rats and other pests. Please help keep them safe.

Recycling Right: EMPTY. CLEAN. DRY.

Well-intentioned recycling ends up creating more problems than solutions. We are contaminating our home recycling bins with things that can’t be recycled curbside — plastic bags, greasy pizza boxes, thin plastic packaging, and much more.

In fact, nearly one-third of all materials households send to Florida recycling facilities are not actually recyclable and ruin loads of items that otherwise could be recycled.  These mistakes are costly and time-consuming — sometimes shutting down processing plants for hours at a time. When in Doubt, Throw it Out - It is better to throw it out in your garbage cart, than risk contaminating a whole load of good recyclables.
