Apopka Recycling schedule changes colors

Posted

For years the recycling days in Apopka were designated Red or Blue. Color assignments were based upon your regular garbage pick up days. Recyclables were picked up on alternating Wednesdays using the gray rolling containers.

For 2017 the City of Apopka has decided to change things up. Recyclables are still picked up on alternating Wednesdays, but the assigned colors are now Purple and Yellow, per the card that was mailed to residents last month.

recycle-1Today is the first recycling day of 2017. Today's color is Purple, which has been assigned to residents whose regular garbage pickup days are Mondays and Thursdays.

The card mailed to residents has a magnet for refrigerator use. Since not everyone will want to decorate their kitchens with the card The Apopka Voice has added the assigned recycling days to our Community Calendar.

Remember:

Recyclable items include:

  • glass and plastic bottles and jugs
  • metal cans
  • paper and cardboard

Recyclable items DO NOT include:

  • dishes or paper plates
  • juice pouches
  • pizza boxes
  • styrofoam

Use this link to see what can and cannot be recycled. According to the City's website, "Putting other material or trash in your recycling could cause the whole load to be rejected by the recycling processor."
