The Villages uses single stream recycling. No need to separate waste. The waste is burned in a special facility to make energy.

I’ve searched the forums and find nothing specific about recycling. Haven’t yet called the office so figured I would ask here for everyone’s benefit.

Is there recycle pickup and if so are they on the same days as trash? I’ve heard use clear plastic bags but can you mix metal and plastic in the same bags?
If there is no recycle pickup does The Villages have a community drop off and if not does anyone know where the closest one is located?

Thank you in advance for your response and if I find out more from the office I’ll post an update here.
