RECYCLING

There are a number of pressing issues and hot-button topics facing Jacksonville, including the future of the city’s remaining Confederate monuments, suspension of curbside recycling pickup and traffic delays due to trains.

One of the biggest issues in recycling is a concept known as “wishcycling,” an issue the EPA feels there needs to be more education on.

Recycling bins and others are full across the city on Sunday night, just hours before the curbside recycling services end.

The City of Jacksonville began setting up recycling drop-off sites around Duval County on Thursday.

The use of non-recyclable plastics has at least tripled since the start of the pandemic, and takeout waste is partially to blame.

If you’re known to blindly toss anything paper or plastic into the recycling bin, you’re probably not alone.
