Recycle Right Boca Raton

Recycling Collection

Recycling is collected once a week.

The City of Boca Raton has a two-bin recycling program. The yellow bin is used to recycle paper and cardboard products. The blue bin is for your glass, plastic and aluminum products. For a complete list of recyclable items, please visit the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County or call the City’s Sanitation Department at 561-416-3367.

Please note that the corrugated cardboard must be cut down to 2’ x 2’ pieces and placed in or next to your yellow bin. If you have boxes that are larger than 2’ x 2’ that are not broken down, they will be collected by our bulk service.

For removal of damaged or unusable recycling bins, place in your garbage container if possible, or place it out for bulk collection with a note on it stating that you would like it to be removed.
