Coconut Creek residents recycled 75.5 tons of material in the first month of the city’s new curbside recycling program, according to the City of Coconut Creek. That figure is more than the 51 tons of plastic, cardboard, and aluminum and steel cans collected at the city’s Recycling Drop-Off Centers during the 2026 fiscal year.

The city shared the results in a social media post on Thursday, Nov. 12. The post did not say when the curbside program began, and it did not break down the totals by material.

For residents, the numbers suggest the new pickup service is drawing strong participation. People who want more information can find it on the city’s website at CoconutCreek.gov/recycle.
