Recycle Today for a Better Tomorrow!
This is part of a concept known as sustainability and it means that we live in a way that doesn’t exhaust the planet. Recycling is remaking used materials (waste) into new products and doing it repeatedly. Recycling creates new useful products, reduces the amount of garbage burned in the Waste-to-Energy facility or buried in a landfill, reduces the amount of virgin natural resources used for manufacturing, saves energy, saves money, creates jobs and reduces pollution.

Please, Practice the Three R's Reduce the amount of garbage you produce Reuse as many things as you can Recycle what you can to make new products

In Pasco, we use blue bags to collect recyclables. Blue bags can be purchased at Pasco County grocery stores and some “super store” retailers. You can put all your recyclables in the same blue bag. You do not need to separate them.

The “Blue Bag" Residential Curbside Recycling Program is available to single-family residential or multi-family units being serviced as single-family. That means if you are paying for twice-a-week curbside garbage pickup service, you already have recycling service. The blue bag program is a voluntary program, but we encourage you to participate in order help reduce our waste stream. Your garbage hauler is required to provide you a schedule for your recyclables pickup – it may or may not be on the same day as your garbage pickup. By ordinance, your hauler is required to pick up recyclables at least twice-a-month.

We recycle the following items (please rinse the items and discard the caps and lids):

Aluminum cans Metal food cans #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jars Clear, green, brown bottles and jars
