The Recycling Program is responsible for monitoring and reporting on recycling and waste reduction programs across the state, as well as providing technical assistance. It manages the Recovered Materials Dealers Certification program and the Construction and Demolition Debris Facilities Reporting program. It administers the Innovative Recycling and Waste Reduction Grants program and it assists Florida First Capital Finance Corporation in administering the Florida Recycling Loan Program.
In 2010, House Bill 7243 was passed by the Florida Legislature, setting a recycling goal of 75% by 2020 for the counties of Florida. DEP is developing a web based system for reporting data from counties, and various public and private entities. The reporting formats are currently
under development.
REDUCE YOUR WASTE.ORG
This is a useful website developed by Miami-Dade County using an innovative grant funded by DEP. Miami-Dade has developed this interactive tool that includes reduction options for businesses looking to reduce the amount of waste they produced. The site also provides generic profiles of what should be in the waste stream so that a business can see where waste should be reduced to meet current industry standards.
