Recycle Brevard: Committed to Making a Difference
Waste Diverted (lbs)
Programs
Program Participants
Volunteer hours
This website started as a local
initiative to bring information to everyone interested in the 3Rs and try to
motivate other people and organizations to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
From a blog, this initiative grew into the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that it is today and we have been serving our community to offer ways to reduce waste and assist in building a more sustainable community.
On this website we share information and resources that should help you understand, learn more, know what is available in our community, and find out what is being done locally and globally in respect to the practice of the 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Our Story
Recycle Brevard started after a personal experience of our founder and president.
In 2011, as her then six-year-old daughter watched a garbage collection truck pass by, the little one asked: “Where does garbage go?” That question became a learning opportunity and led them to a landfill tour to understand the garbage collection process in our community.
During their tour, they learned that only 30% of Brevard County residents recycled. That was surprising - not in a positive way. Our founder, who was taking a Community Involvement class at the time, felt compelled to do something to try to change that rate.
As a blog and a Facebook page, Recycle, Brevard! was born. It was a call to action; an invitation to make our community better.
