Florida's Solid Waste Management Act, passed in 1988, requires that each County reduce its solid waste disposal by 30 percent through recycling programs. Volusia County has exceeded this goal. The State has issued a new voluntary goal of 50 percent by the year 2000.
Recycling is responsible resource management.
It reduces pollution and saves energy in the manufacturing process and extends the life of our landfill. Unincorporated Volusia County, the City of DeBary and the City of Deltona Residents should place their recycling bin with recycling materials at the curb by 6 a.m. for pick-up on their scheduled recycling day. Newspapers Newspapers may be placed in your bin. Please secure them in the bin so they will not blow out. Please remove lids and dispose of them in your regular garbage.
