Welcome to the Office of Recycling

Working for a Greener Fort Lauderdale!

New "Mix It. Curb It." Single-Stream Recycling Cart Program Coming Soon!

In the summer of 2012, the City of Fort Lauderdale is launching Mix It. Curb It., a new program that will make recycling much easier for our neighbors. As part of the Mix it. Curb it. program, the City will be providing residential recycling customers with new, blue, 65-gallon carts that will hold all clean recyclables. Soon, hoisting and lugging those heavy bins full of recyclables will be a task of the past; you’ll be able to mix all clean recyclables together into one cart and roll it to the curb. It’s that simple.

We have prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help prepare our neighbors for the launch of the Mix It. Curb It. recycling program.

You’ve Made a Difference!

In FY2009, the City of Fort Lauderdale recycled 4,362 tons of paper and 3,624 tons of commingled material through residential curbside recycling, event recycling, the City’s Hungry Green Dumpster program and other program initiatives. Keep up the good work!
