Pinellas Park provides single-stream curbside recycling once per week under Chapter 11. Residents must use city-issued recycling containers and follow accepted-material guidelines to avoid contamination tagging.
Chapter 11 of the Pinellas Park Code authorizes the residential single-stream recycling program collected once per week (typically on Wednesday). Accepted materials generally include clean paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, and rigid plastics #1 and #2. Plastic bags, foam, food-soiled paper, and tanglers (hoses, cords, holiday lights) are not accepted and may cause an entire load to be rejected. Containers must have handles and fitted lids and remain within the 35-gallon residential limit. The yard waste/brush program is separate from recycling and operates with its own collection rules.
Contaminated recycling, oversized containers, or placing prohibited items in recycle bins can result in tagging, non-collection, and possible code enforcement notices.
