Wakulla County, Florida advised residents that curbside recycling, previously handled by Waste Pro, ended September 29, 2025. This followed a vote by the Board of County Commissioners in August.
The county will continue to offer free drop-off locations at the Wakulla County Landfill Transfer station. There will not be a cost for recyclable drop-off.
Waste Pro used to provide recycling as a free service because they recouped their costs by selling recycled materials, but that is no longer the case. “The market for recycling has dropped out. It’s actually costing Waste Pro money to get rid of recycling and they were going to have to charge north of $30 per year per resident to continue recycling,” said David Edwards, county administrator.
