Recycling Kids' Corner

RC the Recycling Cat was a stray cat found sorting recyclables out of the neighborhood trash. RC’s knowledge in recycling secured him a job as the mascot for Brevard County’s Recycling Program and he has worked and lived with the Solid Waste Management Department ever since. RC has come a long way since he was a stray cat. He has learned so much more about recycling. RC is always excited to share his knowledge about recycling the right way through our educational outreach programs.

Today, RC is now ready to enhance his knowledge, skills and abilities for his chosen career path. He has signed up for classes at the local college. RC loves visiting schools and he continues to make time in his busy schedule to hand out high fives and recycling tips!
