Hillsborough County’s Recycling Guide highlights recycling rules, free recycling drop-off sites, and more.
Recycling rules depend on where you live. No matter where you live in Hillsborough County, plastic bags and bagged recycling do not belong in recycling carts. Learn how to improve the quality of items in your recycling cart by viewing the Recycling Guide and checking your local recycling program rules at least once a year.
