The City of St. Petersburg is in the process of delivering 90-gallon blue bins for curbside recycling. About half of St. Pete residents have already received the bins.

Pinellas, burned over recycling

in Peter/The Bay and the 'Burg by

From Darden Rice: I’m fired up over the embarrassing excuses for the lack of curbside recycling here in Pinellas County.
