As of January 2nd, 2022, Waste Pro USA no longer collects blue recycling bins. Only green garbage bins will be collected going forward.
Recyclables are to be co-mingled with trash and will be converted to electricity by incineration. By Florida statute, the incineration of refuse materials to make energy is considered recycling.
Waste Pro USA has asked residents to keep their blue recycling bins for the time being. Waste Pro USA is working with municipalities to determine the feasibility of opening a government-run recycling facility in Broward county. Should that occur, then the blue recycling bins will be collected once again.
