Recycling Information For Walton County, Florida

[Wuchie]

My husband and I love our week at the beach on 30a each summer, but lately we notice more and more trash on the beach and around the condo (Eastern Shores this summer). Why don't the condo complexes recycle? Or at the very least make it available to folks like us who would recycle. We will keep searching for our perfect beach retreat, which must have lovely views, limited steps to the condo and to the beach, no crowds, and a well-kept condo. Eastern Shores has the views and very few steps but not the rest. Thanks for listening and for sharing 30a with two grateful folks from St. Louis.
