Coral Springs Solid Waste and Recycling Programs

Residential Recycling

All single family residents will receive a blue 65 gallon recycling cart which will be serviced (1) one time per week. Please place all household recyclables in your 65 gallon cart and place the cart at curbside on collection day. To avoid interruption with your curbside recycling collection service, the following rules should apply:

1. Place your blue 65-gallon recycle cart for collection within five (5) feet of the street by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled pick up days. It is important to always have the cart facing the street (i.e. the handles are located on the cart side closest to your residence.
2. Each blue 65-gallon garbage cart is equipped with an easy open and close lid and wheels for easy movement to the curb.

Currently, the only recyclables with value are the following: 

– Plastics #1 and #2 (water bottles and milk jugs)

– Cardboard (cut and flatten)

– Paperboard (cereal and snack boxes)

– Mixed Paper (junk mail, newspapers, magazines, and office paper)

3. Newspapers must be placed loose in the recycling cart and not packed into a paper or plastic bag for collection.
