Receive Emergency Notifications by Phone or E-mail

CodeRED® CodeRED® is a high-speed telephone communication service that enables the City to send emergency notifications to registered phone numbers. In the event of an evacuation notice, utility outage, water main break, fire or flood, chemical spill or other emergency situation, the system will deliver a recorded message to either a live person, answering machine or voicemail. Residents and businesses in the City of Fort Lauderdale are encouraged to sign up for CodeRED® emergency notifications at the link below. Registration is free and personal information will be kept confidential. Individuals who have already registered for the service but would like to update their phone number or add a cell phone number can do so by re-registering. CodeRED™ notifications cannot be delivered to phone numbers with a privacy lock feature. To ensure messages are received, residents should either turn off the privacy lock feature during emergencies, enter 954-828-8000 on their “safe list” of phone numbers, or enter a cell phone number when registering for the service. Sign Up for CodeRED® Now! to receive emergency notifications. Registration is simple, quick, and free. Just follow the online instructions.

This Summer, the City of Fort Lauderdale is launching Mix It. Curb It., a new program that will make recycling much easier and more convenient.   Residential recycling customers will receive blue, 65-gallon carts into which they can mix all clean recyclables.  Delivery will take place over five weeks beginning in mid-June, and residents may begin using their new carts immediately.  Old bins will be collected for recycling at the time of cart delivery. 

The new Mix it. Curb it. program encourages recycling participation, reduces recycling collection service costs, and has the ability to increase the quantity and quality of recyclables that we send for processing.  However, the success of the program, and the positive impact to our environment, is greatly dependent upon how, and how much, you and your neighbors recycle.

 Beginning June 1, maps showing the scheduled delivery dates for each neighborhood will be available on our Recycling web page.  In the interim, for more information about Mix it. Curb it., please visit www.fortlauderdale.gov/recycle and read the Frequently Asked Questions.  You may contact the 24-hour Customer Service Center at (954) 828-8000 or visit online at fortlauderdale.gov/customerservice.  Customer Service may also be reached via LauderServ, the City’s android application for mobile devices.  Finally, you can always reach out to me.  Just reply to this email or call me at (954) 828-7701.

Thank you,
