We've been reading your comments about the new recycling program, and we know many residents have questions about why this change is happening.

In the latest episode of Truth Be Told, we're breaking down the facts behind the transition from curbside recycling to drop-off recycling, including costs, contamination rates, how the decision was made and what residents can expect moving forward.

As always, our goal is to provide transparency and answer the questions we're seeing from the community.

Congratulations to the Ocala Fire Rescue Honor Guard on earning First Place at the 2026 First There First Care Honor Guard Competition!

Beginning July 6, the City of Ocala will transition from curbside recycling collection to a citywide drop-off recycling program.

This change allows the City to continue providing residents with a recycling option while helping manage rising operational costs and reducing the impact of future sanitation rate increases.

Residents can continue recycling at the following drop-off locations:

• Mary Sue Rich Community Center
• Croskey Center / Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Complex
• Ocala Regional Sportsplex
• Polly Palmer Park
• West of Fire Station No. 5 off NE 24th Street
• NE Eighth Avenue and NE 14th Street
• Jervey Gantt Park
• SE 31st Street and SE Fifth Terrace

For most residents, no immediate action is required. Existing recycling carts will automatically convert to garbage carts on July 6 unless removal is requested. Residents who currently have two garbage carts and one recycling cart will have the recycling cart removed automatically.

We understand recycling remains important to many residents, and we are committed to continuing to provide recycling opportunities throughout our community while balancing long-term service and cost considerations.

For additional information, please contact the City of Ocala Sanitation Division at 352-351-6697.
