To celebrate America Recycles Day on Nov. 15, the Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) will host an educational trivia quiz, the #RecycleRightChallenge, on its Facebook page. The idea is to raise awareness of the importance of recycling and encourage residents to recycle properly. On Tuesday, DSWM staff will be present at the Stephen P. Clark Center atrium, 111 NW 1st St, Miami, FL 33128, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to distribute information about the different recycling programs Miami-Dade County makes available to residents.
To commemorate this important day and encourage recycling all year round, residents can:
