Medicare Open Enrollment Is Coming: Free SHINE Workshops at Palm Beach County Libraries

With Medicare Open Enrollment approaching, the Palm Beach County Library System is helping residents prepare by bringing Medicare information and assistance directly into communities. Through a partnership with SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders), free Medicare workshops will be offered at branches of the Palm Beach County Library System. These sessions will give Medicare beneficiaries, families and caregivers an opportunity to better understand coverage options, navigate plan choices and make informed decisions before open enrollment begins on October 15. During the workshops, trained SHINE volunteers will explain Medicare coverage and plan options, answer questions and help participants compare choices. They will connect individuals with resources based on their needs. SHINE provides free, unbiased Medicare counseling and does not represent or sell insurance plans. To put Medicare enrollment in perspective, more than one in four Palm Beach County residents is age 65 or older. Of the county’s approximately 1.57 million residents, 26.1%, or about 411,000 people, fall within this age group, according to 2025 U.S. Census Bureau estimates. “Access to reliable, unbiased information is essential when making decisions about Medicare,” said Library Director Doug Crane. “The Palm Beach County Library System is proud to partner with organizations like SHINE that can connect residents with trusted resources and information at convenient locations throughout the county.”Understanding Medicare Enrollment sessions will be offered at the following Library locations: Glades Road BranchTue, Sep 22, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Greenacres BranchWed, Sep 23, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Gardens BranchFri, Sep 25, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Main LibraryTue, Sep 29, 10:00 am – 11:00 am Okeechobee Boulevard BranchWed, Sep 30, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Preregistration is required.

Is it recyclable? Office and school paper

Today, many things are recyclable. But not all recyclable items are accepted by the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s (SWA’s) dual-stream recycling program. We’ll help you learn what you can and should recycle every day at home, work, school and play. With kids returning to the classroom, or if you’re just tidying up your home office, now is the perfect time to recycle your clean, dry office and school paper. From lined notebook paper to printer paper, and even sticky notes, these items belong in your yellow recycling bin. In 2025, Palm Beach County residents recycled more than 28,500 tons of mixed paper. If you’ve been saving up your office and school paper and have more than fits into your yellow recycling bin, you have options: • Take it to one of the more than 250 yellow community cardboard dumpsters stationed throughout our county. Find your nearest yellow community cardboard dumpster. • Take it to one of seven SWA Home Chemical & Recycling Centers (HCRCs). Here are SWA’s seven HCRC locations from north county to south county: o Jupiter North County Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 14185 Military Trail (SWA Road) in Jupiter Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. o West Palm Beach Home Chemical & Recycling Center 6161 N. Jog Road in West Palm Beach Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. o Belle Glade Glades Regional Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 1701 State Road 15 in Belle Glade Monday-Friday: 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. o Royal Palm Beach West Central Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 9743 Weisman Way in Royal Palm Beach Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. o Lantana Central County Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 1810 Lantana Road in Lantana Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. o Western Delray Beach Southwest County Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 13400 South State Road 7 in Delray Beach Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. o Eastern Delray Beach South County Transfer Station and Home Chemical & Recycling Center 1901 SW 4th Ave. in Delray Beach Monday-Friday: 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Saturday: 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. The SWA has achieved the highest recycling rate in the state for the past four years, as calculated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. In 2025, the recycling rate was 91 percent, preceded by 90 percent in 2024, 84 percent in 2023, and 80 percent in 2022. Palm Beach County’s residents, businesses, and visitors can help us remain a top recycler in Florida. Recycle right every day at home, work, school and play in Palm Beach County. The full list of accepted items in the SWA’s dual-stream curbside recycling program can be found online. Commercial interests can receive a free waste stream audit and technical support to help implement or improve their paper recycling programs.
