Ten For Ten

It all started in 2021... To help celebrate Recycle Brevard's 10th anniversary and Earth Day, we launched the Ten For Ten Collection Challenge in 2021 to involve the community in removing items from the waste stream, diverting more from our landfills as a gift to the Earth. And now... it is a Lagoon Loyal program and an annual Earth Day celebration challenge. Join the effort! If you would like to help with this effort, please sign up online or contact our Volunteer Coordinator to sign up for a slot on the drop-off day. We hope to have great community participation and will need volunteers to assist receiving items, sorting, packing, weighing, dropping off boxes of materials. Our drop-off date is Sunday, April 30 from 11am to 3pm.
