Recycling 101

Florida Recycles Week, November 15th - 19th, is celebrated in conjunction with America Recycles Day, which brings the nation together to learn, act and share the importance of recycling and reducing waste with others. According to Keep America Beautiful, the nation’s recycling rate has increased over the past 30 years and is currently 34 percent. However, there is still a lot of confusion when it comes to recycling. Keep Pinellas Beautiful and Pinellas County want to help you recycle more and recycle right!
