The ABCs of Recycling Mail and Magazines in Palm Beach County, FL

Are you drowning in a sea of mail and magazines? Don’t toss them into the trash just yet! In this blog post, we’ll explore how you can responsibly recycle your mail and magazines in Palm Beach County, contributing to a greener future for our community.

The Mail Madness:

Every day, the United States Postal Service handles a staggering 421 million pieces of mail. That’s a lot of paper flying around! But did you know that much of this paper can be recycled?

Recycling Your Mail and Magazines:

Once you’ve sorted through your mail and removed any personal information, it’s time to recycle. Simply place your paper items into the yellow recycling bin provided by the Solid Waste Authority (SWA). These items are then sorted at the recycling facility and sold to manufacturers to create new paper products.

Going Beyond the Bin:

If your recycling bin is overflowing with mail and magazines, fear not! Palm Beach County offers additional options for recycling. You can utilize one of over 250 yellow community cardboard dumpsters scattered throughout the county. Additionally, there are seven Home Chemical & Recycling Centers (HCRCs) where you can drop off your paper items.
