I think it's worth repeating. Fl. Dept. of Environmental Protection just released Fl. recycling rates from 2013. The top 10 Florida counties in recycling were: Hillsborough (recycling 73%), Lee (recycling 70%), Hendry (recycling 68%), Pasco (recycling 67%), Pinellas (recycling 63%), Collier (recycling 60%), Sarasota (recycling 58%), Martin and Palm Beach counties (recycling 56%), and Monroe (recycling 55%) How did the three Villages counties do? Marion (recycling 48%), Lake (recycling 33%), and Sumter
(recycling ONLY 21%). By the way, I just got a letter back from Sumter County commissioners.....in which they BLAMED residents for not doing a good job each week with their recycling. Meanwhile, Sumter County offices DO NOT RECYCLE while on the job. Why Not?!?! Queen
