Recycle Right

The City’s Department of Public Works, in partnership with recycling partners, have a renewed focus on encouraging residents to recycle right. Crews will begin inspecting carts for compliance prior to collection; if contamination is observed the cart will not be collected. Information on how to recycle right can be found on the City’s website at: www.HollywoodFL.org To ensure you are recycling right, be sure to:

• Completely empty and rinse glass and plastic containers before placing in cart
• Dispose of caps, lids, and straws in the trash
• Place recycled items loosely in the cart, not inside a plastic bag
• Remove all plastic tape from cardboard boxes
• Collapse all cardboard

If you think an item can be recycled but you are unsure, check the City’s website at: www.HollywoodFL.org or throw it in your gray garbage cart to reduce contamination. Blue recycling carts must not be used for household trash. Most contamination in the City comes from 3 items that should never be placed in the recycling cart:

• Plastic shopping bags
• Pizza or food cardboard boxes. To avoid risk of contamination, clean or not, do not throw them in the cart.
• Alkaline and Rechargeable Batteries

Bring plastic shopping bags back to your favorite grocer for recycling. Alkaline batteries are trash, rechargeable batteries can be dropped off for recycling at major box stores and battery retailers. Food containers with any food or grease stains should be thrown in the trash.
