CURBSIDE RECYCLING GUIDELINES
 
The City of Zephyrhills Sanitation Department provides a "Blue Bag" Curbside Recycling Program. The "Blue Bags" are available at most
grocery stores and discount stores.
 
What items may I place in a blue bag?
  • Aluminum & metal cans - please rinse and remove any paper labels from food cans.

 

  • Glass jars and bottles - please empty, rinse and remove any lids and caps. There is no need to remove the labels from glass items.

 

  • Plastic containers that have #1 [pet] or #2 [hdpe] on the bottom are acceptable. This includes most milk jugs, soda bottles, and some household cleaning products. Unmarked plastics and all other numbered plastics are not acceptable for this program.

 

  • Please do not include the following items: Aerosol cans, batteries, oil/paint cans, hazardous chemicals, ceramics, crystal, light bulbs, mirrors, pyrex, window panels, metal caps, aluminum foil, eggs cartons, and pie cans.

 

Curbside recycling service is offered bi-weekly, on Wednesdays. Please do not place Blue Bags inside a trash receptacle.

 
 
Recycling is a great way to "Go Green" along with reducing the amount of trash entering the waste stream. Your recycling efforts preserve natural resources, will reduce air and water pollution, and makes a positive contribution to preserving the environment for future generations.
 
 
For additional information, please call the Sanitation Department at 813.780.0022.
 
RECYLCLING FACTS: Did you know?
 
  • We throw away enough aluminum cans each year to rebuild a commercial airline fleet every three months!
  • The U.S. is the number one trash-producing country in the world at approximately 1,600 pounds per person each year!
  • Recycling just one aluminum can will save enough energy to run your TV for 3 hours!
  • We throw away enough plastic bottles each year to circle the earth four times!

 

Recycling: is the right thing to do.
