"Each state agency, public institution of higher learning, community college and state university, including all buildings that are occupied by municipal, county, or state employees and entities occupying buildings managed by the Florida Department of Management Services, must at a minimum, annually report all recycled materials to the county using the department’s (DEP's) designated reporting format."
Florida businesses dealing with over 600 tons per year of any recovered material (paper, glass, plastic, metals/aluminum, textiles, and/or non-tire rubber) are required by law to apply for annual certification and report their recovered materials.
