Yes, it does make a difference! Collier County ranks second in the state of Florida for recycling.
Most recyclables, such as glass and plastic, do not readily decompose, taking up valuable space in the county’s only active landfill. You can help increase this rate by feeding your yellow-top recycling bin this:
• Glass – Clear, brown and green-colored glass bottles and jars.
• Plastic – Bottles and containers shaped like a bottle, jar, jug or tub.
• Metal – Food and beverage cans.
• Paper – Clean paper, cardboard, cartons, magazines and newspapers.
Make sure that recyclables are clean, dry and loose.
