Recycling Just Got Easier
Safety Harbor has changed the way we collect recycling. The new program change starts April 15, 2013.

• Part of the City will receive new 64-gallon recycling carts, while part of the City will remain on 19-gallon containers due to route constrictions and residential storage restrictions.
• The residents who currently have automated pickup for their trash will have the automated pickup for their recycling.
• The new collection procedure will allow residents to start recycling all plastics #1-#7, juice and milk cartons, all color glass, cardboard, newspaper, mixed paper, aluminum and steel. These items will all go into one container and will no longer be sorted at the curb.

Purpose
The ability to collect more recyclables will allow the City to cut down on the amount of trash taken to the landfill. Our goal is to make recycling easier for our residents, increase our program participation, both by the amount of recyclables and the number of residents participating, and to help prevent rate increases by changing the sanitation trash collection to a once a week pickup.

Frequency & Guidelines
Curbside collection of recycling is one time per week. All items must be curbside by 6:30 a.m. on your scheduled day, co-mingled in your recycling container. Please only use city provided recycling containers. Other items can be recycled at the drop off centers located in the city. To request a recycling container, call 727-724-1550, ext. 2002.
