Brevard County accepts paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, and plastics #1-2 in single-stream blue carts. Plastic bags, food waste, and Styrofoam rejected. Contaminated carts are tagged and skipped.
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. Brevard operates a single-stream MRF (materials recovery facility) in Cocoa. Multi-family properties (5+ units) must provide recycling per county ordinance. Yard waste collected separately in paper yard waste bags or 32-gallon cans marked "YARD WASTE."
Contaminated bins tagged and skipped. Repeat contamination (3+ incidents): $25-$100 fine and cart removal. Multi-family non-compliance: $250-$1,000 property manager fine.
