The following recycling tips apply to ALL recycling in Tamarac. This includes curbside and multifamily carts as well as recycling stations in Tamarac’s buildings and parks.
Tamarac uses “single-stream” recycling, which means that all recyclable materials can be placed in the same cart.
Do not use plastic bags. Do not place any plastic bags in the recycling carts and do not put recyclable materials in plastic bags.
Please avoid placing household garbage and non-recyclable materials such as Styrofoam cups, plastic plates and utensils, plastic bags, etc. into recycling carts. This can decrease the value of the recyclables and reduce the revenue paid to the City.
NEVER put hazardous waste or old electronics in your recycling or regular garbage. Tamarac residents can participate in drop-off events for these items, hosted in conjunction with other local cities. More information, including a schedule, is available at the following webpage: Hazardous Waste
