ECUA Wins ‘Recycle Florida Today’ Environmental Sustainability Award
November 9, 2021
The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) has been awarded the Outstanding Public Program tier of the annual Environmental Sustainability award presented by Recycle Florida Today.
The Recycle Florida Today Environmental Sustainability Award is the industry’s premier recognition of those having outstanding programs or events centered on recycling and environmental sustainability.
ECUA’s state of the art Materials Recycling Facility currently processes an average of 789 tons of recyclables per week with recycling programs from Destin to Biloxi relying on the facility for processing. Over 77% of ECUA customers participate in single stream curbside recycling.
With this award, ECUA was recognized statewide for innovative and highly efficient recycling operations, as well as their creative and resourceful public information campaigns that have significantly increased awareness to motivate recycling, composting, waste reduction, and other sustainability efforts.
Members of ECUA’s public information team recently joined other Recycle Florida Today Environmental Sustainability Award finalists from across the state in a virtual event to share information about their outstanding programs.

So I’m guessing ECUE recycling has recovered from their fire and are no longer putting recycle products in the landfill?
I agree @RW. With the rates already high, ECUA even charges an EXTRA fee to pay your bill online.
Good job ECUA!
I used to be so completely unaware of what it takes to provide utility service to the masses 24/7/365 and had no idea about our recycling or composting programs here or any of it. I’m glad I’ve recently taken the time to learn and I’m impressed! I didn’t know our MRF here processes stuff for all the different programs in the region even as far as Biloxi and the composting thing is so smart. Good job on creating and growing these programs ECUA and more importantly- all of the avid recyclers!
