Temple Terrace provides single-stream curbside recycling in 95-gallon blue carts. Recycling is offered but not mandated by ordinance; contaminated loads may be rejected.
Recycling is a voluntary program under Temple Terrace Chapter 62. The city accepts paper, cardboard, aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles, and plastics #1 and #2 in a single-stream cart. Plastic bags, food waste, Styrofoam, and scrap metal are not accepted. There is no local mandatory recycling ordinance, and residents are not fined for failing to recycle, consistent with Florida not mandating residential recycling at the state level. Contaminated carts are tagged with educational stickers and may be skipped if contamination continues.
