The Recycling Program is responsible for monitoring and reporting on recycling and waste reduction programs across the state, as well as providing technical assistance. It manages the Recovered Materials Dealers Certification program and the Construction and Demolition Debris Facilities Reporting program. It administers the Innovative Recycling and Waste Reduction Grants program and it assists Florida First Capital Finance Corporation in administering the Florida Recycling Loan Program.
In 2010, House Bill 7243 was passed by the Florida Legislature which applied the statewide recycling goal of 75% by 2020 to the counties of Florida. DEP is developing a web based system for reporting data from counties, and various public and private entities. The reporting formats are currently
under development.
