  • Is Florida on track to achieve a 75% recycling rate by 2020?

    On its way to a 75% recycling rate by 2020, Florida’s recycling rate in 2014 was 50%, meeting the 50% target rate specified in Florida statute. Eighteen counties are leading the way with 2014 recycling rates reaching and exceeding the 50% Interim Recycling Goal. In 2014, eighteen counties have already achieved that 50% rate. As of January 1, 2015, the Department has also recognized 29 businesses and other organizations with a recycling rate of at least 50%. The challenge is for other counties, businesses and governmental agencies recycling efforts to match or exceed those that are leading the way. Each of us and our families can contribute by continuing to recycle as much as possible from our homes. With strong recycling programs and strong participation from businesses, governmental agencies, organizations, families and individuals, we can get Florida to 75% by 2020.
