Safety Harbor provides weekly single-stream curbside recycling. Residents must place accepted paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals in the city-issued recycling cart, free of food waste, plastic bags, and contamination.
Under Chapter 10 of the Safety Harbor Code of Ordinances and Sanitation Division policies, residential curbside recycling is collected weekly using city-issued carts. Accepted materials include paper, flattened cardboard, plastic bottles and containers numbered #1 and #2, glass bottles and jars, and aluminum and steel cans. Plastic bags, foam, food-soiled items, and tanglers (hoses, cords, wires) are not accepted and contaminate loads. Carts must be set out by 6:30 a.m. on collection day and follow the same placement rules as garbage. Holiday schedules and route maps are published on the Sanitation Division website.
Contaminated carts may receive rejection tags, repeated contamination can lead to suspended service, and improper materials may trigger code enforcement notices.
