Waste Reduction

Recycling Information and Services

Solely as a service to the public and Florida businesses, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) maintains the following list of companies and organizations that provide various recycling services. The information was voluntarily supplied by the services providers and is not necessarily a complete list of available services, and a company's absence from the list does not imply prejudice or impropriety. DEP does not endorse specific equipment or companies. DEP, by providing this list, does not imply that the companies are in compliance with applicable laws.

Greening Florida Government

Florida Statute 403.714 (Duties of State Agencies) reads that each state agency, the judicial branch of state government and the state university shall: (a) establish a program in cooperation with the Department of Management Services for the collection of all recyclable materials generated in state offices and institutions throughout the state, including, at a minimum, aluminum, high-grade office paper, and corrugated cardboard.

Recycling

The Florida Legislature established the Energy, Climate Change and Economic Security Act of 2008 to include a statewide weight-based recycling goal of 75% by 2020.  There is no provision in the statute for the goal to sunset after 2020.
