  • Why Recycle?

    It is vital to recycle and reduce waste here in Pinellas County. Because our Energy from Waste plant can process 3,150 tons per day of solid waste, our waste generation rate often exceeds this capacity. With only one landfill in Pinellas County, at the current generation rates, it will be full in 84 years. Recycling is also important for social, economic, and environmental reasons. Did you know that over 77% of the trash in Pinellas County could be recycled? Recycling programs, along with waste reduction and waste diversion programs, help to conserve landfill space and ensure a sustainable future.

  • What materials can I put in my curbside collection bin?

    In Pinellas County, all citizens have access to recycling through curbside or drop-off programs for items such as aluminum, cardboard, glass, newspaper, mixed paper, plastic, steel, and yard waste (in some areas). Plastic bags and styrofoam can be recycled at local grocery stores. Visit Curbside & Drop-Off Recycling Programs for more information about recycling in your city.
