• Trash placed alongside the carts or in unapproved containers will not be collected. 
• The arrows located on the lid should face the street and the handles should face away from the street. 
• The lid must be closed so that nothing can spill out during the emptying process. 
• Do not place anything on top of the cart as it will cause the cart to become inaccessible.
• All carts must be accessible and placed for collection by 7 a.m. on the day of collection. 
• Inaccessible carts will not be emptied.

14. What is a Waste-to-Energy facility?

15. What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy harnesses energy from naturally replenished sources for power used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more. Renewable energy helps with U.S. energy security and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using renewable energy can reduce energy imports and reduce fossil fuel use, which is the largest source of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions.

16. Why did Davie decide to transition recycling?

This transition occurred because of two reasons: 

1. The global recycling market changed. Low, and in some cases, no demand in the global marketplace for materials such as glass and plastics #3 through #7, combined with the low value of mixed paper and high rates of contamination, have tripled the cost of processing recyclable materials over the past few years.

2. Contamination issues. If the recycling is contaminated with waste, the contaminated recyclables end up in the landfill.  As a result of this transition, the recyclables will be converted into energy instead of being landfilled.

17. What are ferrous and non-ferrous metals?

Ferrous materials contain iron, while non-ferrous materials do not. Common examples of ferrous metals include alloy steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and wrought iron.

Please note that ferrous metals and non-ferrous materials are separated from the materials at the Waste-to-Energy facility and are recycled back into the marketplace to create new products.

18. What are the recycling changes under the new service provider?

Effective June 1, 2021, the Town of Davie will be changing the way in which we process recycling materials collected from the beige recycling carts. The biggest challenge for Davie and is the same challenge for everyone in Broward County is the processing of recyclables. 

For years, recycling has declined based on the global market and contamination issues making the repurposing of recyclables cost-prohibitive. As a result, the cost to recycle has tripled and recyclables are being disposed of due to contamination. For many, this is quite shocking to hear, which is why the Town has taken a hybrid approach to ensure that the Town still gets credited with recycling. 

In this new contract, residents will still have a recycling cart (beige) and a waste cart (green). They will both be picked up by the same truck and taken to the Waste-to-Energy Facility on SR7/441. There, the materials will be burned generating electricity resulting in energy credits. We ask that you still source separate, the material between recyclables and household waste as the Town, other Broward municipalities, and Broward County are currently collaborating to determine the feasibility of opening a government-run recycling facility in Broward County. If, and when this occurs, this would require the separating of materials and the Town will be in a state of readiness to participate. In the meantime, we will have lower waste and recycling costs than anticipated and still doing our best for the environment. In addition, if your beige recycling cart is in need of repair or replacement it will be replaced by a green cart similar to the waste cart.   

As a reminder, please place your recycling cart curbside by 7 a.m. on either of your scheduled pick up days, but no earlier than 7 p.m., the previous evening. 

19. What company provides solid waste services (bulk, trash, recycling, etc.) for the Town of Davie?

Effective June 1, 2021, the Town of Davie will be serviced by Coastal Waste & Recycling for all solid waste and recycling collection services.
