Sorting It Out: Recycling in Central Florida

Join us for Sorting It Out: Waste & Recycling in Central Florida, an informative and inspiring evening dedicated to understanding where our waste really goes — and how we can all be part of the solution.

From overflowing landfills to confusing recycling rules, managing waste in a fast-growing region like Central Florida is no small task. This event brings together local experts, industry leaders, and engaged residents to explore how we can reduce, reuse, and rethink our approach to everyday waste.

Panelists will share real-world insights on topics such as:

• How municipal recycling systems actually work
• Common recycling myths and contamination issues
• How composting is helping extend landfill life and return nutrients to the soil
• The role of private companies and residents in building a circular economy

Hear from speakers representing the City of Orlando, O-Town Compost, Urban E Recycling, Orange County Government, Waste Pro, and Good Fills, in a conversation co-hosted by the Sustainability Division of the City of Winter Park.

Whether you’re a resident hoping to recycle right, a business aiming to reduce waste, or a sustainability advocate looking to learn more, this event offers a valuable chance to connect, ask questions, and “sort out” the truth about waste in our region.

Let’s work together to create a cleaner, more sustainable Central Florida.
