Take5 was developed by the City of Fort Lauderdale to improve the recycling collection program by eliminating contamination and increasing the quality of collected materials. This helps to keep the costs to our City as low as possible. Global and local contamination is a major issue of concern and now it is our time to do our part in Fort Lauderdale by recycling only the 5 acceptable items.
Contamination occurs when garbage and non-recyclable materials are placed in recycling carts with good recycling materials.
