Recycling collection in Tarpon Springs operates under the city's solid waste contract and Chapter 8 sanitation provisions. All recycling is collected Thursdays. Residents must place containers curbside by 7 a.m. on collection day. Recycling containers must be 32 gallons and clearly labeled with the word Recycling or display the recycling symbol; the city provides bins on request through the Solid Waste Office. Acceptable materials include dry bottles, cans, paper, cardboard, and now plastic and paper to-go cups. Items must be loose, dry, and clean. Loose plastic bags, plastic film, and bagged recyclables are not accepted because they jam sorting equipment. Contaminated loads may be rejected.
Repeatedly contaminating recycling carts or setting out non-recyclable material may result in cart tagging, refusal to collect, and code enforcement action.
