The National America Recycles Day 2010 event was a success. America Recycles Day focuses on the importance of recycling and buying products made with recycled content. By completing a Pledge card, Floridians committed to being better stewards of the environment. All pledge cards received were entered into a drawing to receive either a $100.00 gift card, courtesy of Recycle Florida Today or one of two $100.00 gift cards donated by Publix Super Markets. This year over 9,800 pledge cards were received from all over the State of Florida.

Recycle Florida Today, Creative Recycling Systems, Inc., Publix Super Markets and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (see below) announced the SEVENTH annual Florida (K-12) Schools Recycling Pledge Card Contest. This contest was designed to reward the three schools that collected the greatest number of recycling pledge cards The three winning schools received a refurbished computer, courtesy of Creative Recycling Systems, Inc. In addition, all pledge cards received from schools were entered into the drawing for the gift cards donated by Recycle Florida Today (1 @ $100.00) and Publix (2 @ $100.00).
