At Home

The City of Fort Lauderdale provides recycling service through a contractor to single family homes, duplexes and triplexes within our City limits. This is called our Curbside Recycling Program.

Multi-family housing, including apartments with more than three units, condominiums, and townhouses, generally contract privately for sanitation (garbage) service and recycling. Your apartment manager or owner may contact the Recycling Office to discuss our City Partnership Program and how the City can assist your building in its recycling efforts. The City’s ordinance requires all apartments and condos to recycle.

You can further contribute to waste reduction by donating common household items such as cardboard paper towel and bath tissue rolls, large pieces of styrofoam, molded plastic containers, leftover tile or fabric, etc. to Trash to Treasure. This non-profit business will accept items that could be re-used in a classroom setting or for artistic purposes.
