Working for a Greener Fort Lauderdale
New Opportunities to Recycle!
The City of Fort Lauderdale is introducing several new or expanded public space recycling programs that provide opportunities for you to be more environmentally responsible.
Recycle Your Holiday Tree!: The City of Fort Lauderdale is encouraging residents to recycle their holiday trees this season. Learn how > > >
New City of Fort Lauderdale Recycling Contractor Effective June 8, 2011: The City of Fort Lauderdale’s recycling contractor will change from Choice Environmental Services to Republic Services beginning Wednesday, June 8, 2011. There will be no change to the recycling collection days; however, the pick-up time may vary. In addition, solid waste customers will now see a different truck in their neighborhoods collecting their recyclables. For additional information, please contact the 24-Hour Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000 or online at www.fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice.
 Recycling at Fort Lauderdale Beach: Bright blue recycling containers are being placed along the most heavily used sections of the City’s recreational beachfront, from the South Beach Parking Lot to the northern end of Galt Ocean Drive. Use the new containers to recycle plastic and glass bottles and cans, aluminum, steel and tin cans, and drink boxes.
Recycling at Boat Ramps and Marinas: Yachters, boaters and those who like to fish along our waterways are encouraged to take advantage of the monofilament and recycling containers located at City boat ramps and marinas.
