Orange County Opens Residential Debris Drop-Off Sites and Begins Curbside Debris Removal

Orange County, FL—Orange County residents will have multiple options for disposing of debris from Hurricane Milton.

Vegetative Debris Drop-off

Beginning Monday, October 14, 2024, designated drop-off sites will accept non-commercial yard waste, including leaves, branches, and other natural debris. The sites will be open Monday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Tuesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sites will not be accessible to the public before Monday. Sites include:

  • Conway Water Treatment Plant – 3590 Manatee Street, Orlando, FL 32822
  • Harrell Road – 8503 Trevarthon Road, Orlando, FL 32817
  • Zellwood Maintenance Unit – 3500 Golden Gem Road, Apopka, FL 32712

The sites will accept only loose vegetative debris—no bags or containers. White goods (large household appliances) and other household items will not be accepted. Contractors, lawn care, or commercial companies are prohibited from using these drop-off sites. Upon arrival, residents must present a valid driver’s license, utility bill, or other official document verifying Orange County residency. Residents can use the County’s interactive map to find their nearest drop-off site.

Curbside Debris Removal

Orange County Government expects to begin its storm curbside debris removal for unincorporated Orange County by Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024. Two debris contractors and one debris monitor will be deployed with heavy-duty equipment to consolidate and remove storm-related debris. Contractors will collect piles at the curb that are too large to be picked up through the County’s residential curbside collection program. Residents are encouraged to separate debris by type—vegetative, white goods, household items, etc.—and place it at the curb for collection as soon as possible.

To expedite the cleanup process, residents are encouraged to bring yard waste debris to one of the County’s three vegetative debris drop-off sites, open Monday, Oct. 14, through Sunday, Oct. 20.
