No Excuse ... Curbside Recycling Comes To St. Pete

Beginning last Friday, October 1, St. Petersburg residents will be able to place newspapers, cardboard, metal and aluminum cans, glass and plastic at the curb for weekly recycling. The curbside recycling program, provided by the city through a contract with Waste Services of Florida, Inc., is voluntary and costs residents just $2.75 a month, paid annually. The service has 800 subscribers so far. WSI will provide residents with all labor, equipment, containers and administration. Contact WSI at 727-572-6800 for more information.
