♻️Trash Smarter, Not Harder: What You Can (Actually) Recycle in South Florida

Written By Lea Lynn Lonjose

Recycling sounds simple — but not everything goes in the bin. If you’ve ever stared at a pizza box wondering if it’s recyclable, you’re not alone. Here’s a quick guide to help you recycle smarter in South Florida:

What You CAN recycle:

  • Clean paper and cardboard (no grease or food stains)

  • Glass bottles and jars (rinsed out)

  • Plastic containers marked #1 and #2

  • Aluminum and steel cans

What you CAN’T recycle (and should toss):

  • Pizza boxes or greasy paper products

  • Plastic bags and wrap (take these to grocery stores for special recycling)

  • Styrofoam and plastic utensils

  • Food waste and hazardous materials

Remember, recycling right means less contamination, which means your community can keep more materials out of the landfill. When in doubt, throw it out — or call Eagle X, and we’ll take care of the rest responsibly.
