Orange County, Fla. – The Orange County Utilities Solid Waste Division reminds unincorporated Orange County residential customers that garbage, recycling and yard waste will not be collected on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25.
All curbside collection services have been moved forward by one day during the holiday week for unincorporated Orange County customers.
If Monday is a customer’s normal collection day, set out roll carts and yard waste by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, December 26.
As part of Orange County’s program, the only collection holidays are Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, crews work through Saturday during those two holiday weeks.
If Friday is a customer’s normal collection day, set out roll carts and yard waste by 6 a.m. on Saturday, December 30.

Customers are encouraged to recycle holiday items like flattened cardboard and cards/envelopes in the blue lid roll carts.
