Celebrating America Recycles Day

St. Petersburg, FL (November 15, 2023) - The City of St. Petersburg would like to extend our immense gratitude for your efforts in recycling, in honor of America Recycles Day. As we celebrate this important day, we should be proud of the success of St. Pete's recycling program having recycled 209 million pounds of material in the first 8 years.

Here's a Pro-Tip: Never put recyclables in plastic bags - these tangle up the processing machinery. Instead, recycle plastic bags at your local Publix. For more recycling tips, visit stpete.org/recycling.

Recycling is just one of many ways we can all reduce our waste. Join us on the Road to Zero Waste to help St. Pete be a waste-free city by 2050. Find waste reduction tips at stpete.org/wastereduction.
