Following the initiation of the single family residential curbside program, curbside and Toter -station community drop-off points were added to the recycling program at multi -family complexes. The 96 -gallon Toter containers were provided by the haulers in accordance with the agreement with the haulers. Recyclables collected at curbside and in Toter containers are newspapers and newspaper inserts; glossy magazines and catalogs; telephone books; aluminum and bi-metal cans; plastic beverage containers (high-density polyethylene [HDPE] and polyethylene terephthalate [PETE)); and green, brown, and clear glass bottles and jars. Both of SWDD's recycling collection companies has one designated neighborhood in which a mixed cardboard pilot recycling program is underway. A County -wide curbside multi -family recycling program started in January 1994. After County -wide curbside recycling was completely established, most of the public igloo sites were removed during September 1994. Igloo sites remain operative at two remote locations in areas that do not receive other recycling service. These locations are the Blue Cypress Lake Fishing Camp and the Sebastian Inlet State Park. The County collection centers con- tinue to accept and process recyclables. Recyclables accepted at the collection centers are plastic beverage containers (HDPE and PETE), newspapers and inserts, glossy magazines and catalogs; telephone books; corrugated cardboard; yard waste; motor oil; household and automobile batteries; white goods; scrap metal; aluminum and bi-metal cans; and green, brown, and clear glass bottles and jars. The igloo containers that were removed by the County from its public recycling sites were offered to the County's schools for in -school recycling. Most of the County's schools have igloos in place or on order. The majority of the recyclables collected from these are news- paper, office and computer paper, and metal cans. During FY 1995, SWDD purchased twelve 6 -cubic -yard dumpsters and placed them at County schools to collect corrugated cardboard for recycling. The curbside residential recycling services for the unincorporated areas of the County and municipalities that are part of SWDD are provided by Hams Sanitation and Treasure Coast Refuse within their franchise collection service areas. On September 28, 1993, SWDD renewed and updated their interlocal agreements with the Cities of Fellsmere and Sebastian, and the Towns of Orchid, Indian River Shores, and the City of Vero Beach to address the submittal of a joint grant application to FDEP, and provision of curbside recycling collection services for mobile home parks, multi -family, and single-family units.
