Celebrate America Recycles Day with the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA)!
This fun-filled family event is our community's official celebration of recycling and all its benefits. This event also doubles as the SWA’s annual open house. Did you know that Palm Beach County has ranked #1 in Florida for recycling for the past four consecutive years? That's thanks, in part, to YOU and your participation in the SWA’s dual-stream recycling program. And if you're not currently recycling, come find out how you can participate in this important activity to keep our community clean and green.
- When: Sunday, Nov.15, 2026
- Where: 6751 N Jog Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33412
- Time: 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
This year's event activities include:
- More than 50 exhibitors (food trucks, environmentally focused exhibitors, local nonprofits, government agencies and more)
- Renewable energy and recycling tours (See firsthand how garbage and recyclables are processed every day in Palm Beach County.)
- Kids Zone (face painting, games, arts and crafts, and more)
- Recycling passport game (Play to redeem a special prize.)
- Heavy equipment expo with demonstrations (View a garbage truck, bulldozer and more up close.)
- Drop off your lithium batteries (a fire hazard!)
- SWA Plastic Bag Xchange2 Program (Turn in two empty, clean plastic bags and receive two reusable recycling bags to help you recycle at home.)

We hope you’ll join the SWA for this extra special celebration of community recycling!
