Does someone go through my trash bags and take out the recycling for me?

No. The City and Waste Management provides homeowners in the city of Key West with one green cart for garbage and one for recycling. It is the responsibility of the homeowner/ tenant to put all recycling items in the blue bin. Items in the recycling cart should be loose and not bagged.
