Recycle Right with Solid Waste Authority www. SWA. org / RecycleRight The Town has been in partnership with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County( SWA) since the early 1990s when SWA began a county-wide recycling program. In 2010, the Town reinforced that partnership through an interlocal agreement to be part of the SWA Recycling Revenue Share program. Since then, the Town has recycled more than 34,280 tons of blue and yellow bin recyclables for a revenue share return of more than $ 742,000, which goes back into the Town’ s general fund.
Recycle Tip Today, most things are recyclable- but not everything! Palm Beach County has a two bin recycling program with a list of the recyclable items printed on the side of the bins. A complete list of what items go in which bin is on SWA’ s website.
