City of West Palm Beach to Distribute Free Plastic Recycling Bins to Residents
WEST PALM BEACH, FL (June 18, 2026) — The City of West Palm Beach Public Works Department is making it easier for residents to recycle by distributing 500 free 35-gallon recycling bins designated for plastic materials. The bins will be available to City residents on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
