Coconut Creek is moving forward with bringing curbside recycling to its residents.

During the June 25 meeting, the commission approved an ordinance on first reading to amend the franchise agreement between the city and Republic Services of Florida.

The current Agreement expires on September 30, 2026, but includes one additional five-year renewal, providing for the reinstatement of curbside recycling. This will allow price adjustments due to rising labor and equipment costs and increased solid waste generation, according to city information.

City staff has negotiated the agreement to return curbside recycling with anti-contamination artificial intelligence software and electric, battery-powered curbside collection vehicles, while allowing for increased labor and equipment costs and recognizing the increase in household waste, according to city information.
