Take the Authority Pledge
As a resident or business owner in Broward County, I pledge to:
- Create less waste in my daily life
- Recycle correctly
- Reuse and repurpose as many items as possible
- Support the work the Authority is doing to decrease our dependency on the landfill and waste-to-energy facility
Our Goals
With the programs included in the Solid Waste Management and Recycling Master Plan, we can divert approximately 60% of our valuable waste from the landfill and waste-to-energy facility, both of which are nearly maxed out. By working together, we can secure the best and lowest price to responsibly process and dispose of our waste.
Recycle Right
The state has set a 75% recycling goal for all counties in Florida. Currently, Broward County is recycling approximately 38% of its waste. Every cardboard box and aluminum can you recycle decreases the amount of waste that reaches the landfill and waste-to-energy facility.
