Mandatory Recycling & Haulers

The CVSWMD adoption of Ordinance #94-01 made recycling mandatory for both residents and businesses in the District. Haulers have specific responsibilities under this Ordinance to ensure that recyclables are separated from trash and that their customers have a financial incentive to recycle by charging less for recycling than they do for trash service (see Section 4.4 of Ordinance #94-01 Incentive Based Rates).

As a hauler, you are required:

  • to communicate mandatory recycling to your customers;
  • to ensure that recyclables are separated from the trash; and
  • to ensure that no recyclables are disposed of as trash.

Note: Haulers found in violation of this Ordinance will be fined by the District according to Article VII of Ordinance #94-01.
