The National America Recycles Day 2011 was November 15, 2011. America Recycles Day focuses on the importance of recycling and buying products made with recycled content. By completing a Pledge card, Floridians committed to being better stewards of the environment. All pledge cards received were entered into a drawing to receive one of three $100.00 gift cards, courtesy of Recycle Florida Today or one of six $50.00 gift cards donated by Publix Super Markets.

Recycle Florida Today, Creative Recycling Systems, Inc., Publix Super Markets and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection hosted the EIGHTH annual Florida (K-12) Schools Recycling Pledge Card Contest. This contest was designed to reward the three schools submitting the greatest number of pledges per capita. This was calculated by dividing the number of students attending the school by the total number of pledges submitted by the school. The three winning schools received a refurbished computer, courtesy of Creative Recycling Systems, Inc.
