Brevard County single-stream recycling accepts paper, flattened cardboard, glass bottles/jars, aluminum/steel cans, and plastics #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE). Plastics #3-7 no longer accepted as of market contractions. Plastic bags, food waste, Styrofoam, textiles, and electronics must be kept out. Contaminated carts tagged with an education tag and skipped. Florida's state goal of 75% recycling diversion drives the program.
