Florida sets a statewide 75% recycling goal, not a homeowner mandate, so no unincorporated Indian River County resident is fined for skipping the blue cart. Waste Management collects single-stream recycling curbside weekly.
Florida law sets a long-term goal of recycling 75 percent of municipal solid waste, but it's a goal for governments and the public, not a legal duty on individual homeowners - so curbside recycling in unincorporated Indian River County is provided, not mandatory. Waste Management collects the 65-gallon blue cart weekly for cardboard, paper, glass, metal cans, and rigid plastics, placed loose rather than bagged. Keep out plastic bags, plastic wrap, white Styrofoam, scrap metal, electronics, tires, and yard waste; they contaminate loads. Customer Convenience Centers take those plus household hazardous waste. Note that some municipalities, like Indian River Shores, have adopted their own mandatory recycling rules.
Homeowners in unincorporated areas face no fine for not recycling. Contaminated carts get tagged and skipped rather than emptied, and chronic contamination can prompt the hauler to pull a household's recycling cart.
