Residents of St. Petersburg who are tired of making trips to the recycling centers, rejoice: the St. Petersburg City Council has unanimously approved curbside recycling.
Today, city officials met and accepted the bid for a voluntary curbside recycling program by Waste Services of Florida. The service, which will begin in October, will cost residents $2.75 a month for weekly pickups, accepting cardboard, newspaper, aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles. Waste Services is including 18-gallon containers with the service and not requiring that recyclables be separated, as separating will be done by the driver who picks them up.
