Why Recycle?
- It is vital to recycle and reduce waste here in Pinellas County because we have only
one landfill. Recycling helps to conserve landfill space and ensure a
sustainable future.
Did you know that over 75% of the trash in Pinellas County could be recycled?
Plastic bags and plastic wrap are the #1 contaminant!
Did you know that plastic bags and plastic wrap cannot go in your
recycling container? Plastic bags and plastic wraps tangle in the machinery
that separates the different materials for processing, bringing the entire
system to a standstill. If you want to recycle your plastic bags, take them
with you next time you visit a store that participates in their collection.
Better yet, use reusable bags.
