 Recycling
Facility Tours
Learn what happens to your recycling after it is picked up from your home.
The Solid Waste/Recycling Department offers tours of the City of Clearwater Materials Processed facility at the Solid Waste Complex, 1701 N. Hercules Ave. The facility is where recyclables are baled, weighed, and prepared for shipment to market. Before or after the tour, an overview of the Department is given, examples of recyclables and items made from recycled materials are shown, and a question-and-answer session is held.
Please call 727-762-4933 for more information.

Did you know that Americans use about 392 cans per person per year? Did you know that by recycling just one of those aluminum cans you could save enough electricity to run a TV for three hours?
The City of Clearwater’s Solid Waste Recycling Division services more
than 56,000 homes, multi-family residences and businesses in Clearwater
and Belleair. In addition, there are 30 recycling routes that get picked
up once a week in your area.
These are just some of the tips you can learn about the importance of
recycling through the City of Clearwater Solid Waste’s FREE educational
outreach program.
Through an age-appropriate presentation, we will come to your school
or organization to cover the basics of recycling, including: What is recycling?
Why should we recycle? What items can be recycled? What happens to items
after they’re recycled?
If you would like to get involved in this worthwhile educational opportunity,
