RECYCLING IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY The State of Florida has a goal of achieving a 75% recycling rate by the year 2020. This basically means that 75% of the material that we throw out in our trash should be recycled. Indian River County (IRC) is at a 33% recycling rate now so the transition to single stream recycling is just one of the many ways they are trying work with its residents and local businesses to reach 75% by 2020! While Grove Isle residents have been doing a great job in helping Indian River County’s recycling effort, we need to continue our efforts. Below is a list of guidelines each resident should follow. HOW CAN YOU HELP? IRC has now changed to a Single Stream Recycling program where all recyclables can be mixed in one container. That means no more sorting! Below is a description of what can and cannot be recycled. This decal is also posted on each blue bin. 
Do not put plastic bags or plastic film in the recycling bins. If you transport your recycled articles to the blue bins in plastic bags, empty the bags of recycled articles and discard them in the trash dumpster. Plastic grocery bags only can be recycled at all Publix stores. Do not place shredded paper in the recycling bins. Do not put tires or furniture in the garbage/recycling area. Styrofoam of any kind should not be placed in the blue bins (see the section on Styrofoam recycling). Remove all plastic caps on plastic, metal and glass containers. Metal caps should be removed from the containers and recycled loose in the bin. All recycled material should be rinsed clean and free of any residue contamination (e.g., food, cosmetics, detergents, etc.). Cardboard boxes must be broken down (laid flat) and no larger than 2 feet by 3 feet in size. If you are unable to do this, see if you can get the help of a neighbor to assist you. Do not place hazardous waste in garbage or recycling bins. Items such as oil-based paint cans, fluorescent light bulbs, pesticides, automotive or boat batteries can be taken any of the five convenience centers or the main landfill for proper disposal. Partygoers and volunteers – Do not recycle foam plates or cups, used napkins, plastic bags/wrappings, or any other paper or plastic articles that have food residue on them. If you have an article that you think is still useable, please do not leave it in garbage/recycling areas. Take it to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or one of the many thrift stores in the area. Construction debris should not be discarded in any garbage dumpster. If you have a contractor working for you, they must remove any debris from the Grove Isle site. For do-it-yourselfers, you must take it directly to the main landfill on Oslo Road. Located on the last page of this article are the addresses and directions to the main landfill and convenience centers for your reference.
