The City of Rockledge established its City-Wide Recycling Program in 1991.
Go GREEN with the City of Rockledge - THE OLDEST CITY IN BREVARD COUNTY!
Residential Homes - Each residential household is provided with a green recycling container that is picked up once a week. Place your bin curbside no later than 7am on your regular pickup day and remove it from curbside no later than 7pm. If you have more recyclables than what your bin will hold, you can place another container with your City of Rockledge recycle bin. The City of Rockledge bin must be present so we don’t miss your pickup.
If the recycle handlers find items in your recycle bin that may cause injury or is not recyclable, it will be left in the recycle bin for your proper disposal, ex: hypodermic needles, hazardous waste, and any other dangerous items. If items are left behind in your recycle bin, the recycle handler will leave a green tag in the bin specifying why your bin was not emptied. It is the owner’s responsibilities to keep the recycle bin clean at all times and free from garbage and insects.
Multi-Family Households (apartments, condominiums, etc.) - Each property is provided with multi-family containers located adjacent to the garbage dumpster. Each multi-family household receives one recycling pickup per week. Each container is individually labeled for your convenience. It is the property owner’s responsibility to keep the containers clean at all times and free from garbage and insects.
Commercial Businesses – The City of Rockledge welcomes any Commercial Business that is interested in recycling. Each property is provided with a container(s) and will receive a once a week pickup. Please call the number below to join in helping Rockledge better our environment.
