Did you know that 24-percent of the municipal solid waste stream is food and yard waste? A great way to reduce your landfill contribution and create your own nutrient rich soil is home composting.
We are offering free home composters and workshops to residents of the City of Orlando through Mayor Buddy Dyer’s Green Works Orlando initiative.
Click the order form below to sign up to receive your free composter. See our home composting guide for more information about the benefits of composting and how to get started with your own composting bin.
A partnership between the City of Orlando, Orange County Government and the United Way, the Orlando United Assistance Center (OUAC) serves as a navigation point to assess the needs and provide information, support and resources to those directly affected by the Pulse tragedy.
Culturally-experienced representatives from the Hispanic and LGBT communities will be available.
Everyone impacted by the tragedy will be helped. This center will provide long-term support and assistance to those in need.
To ensure families and individuals are provided the one-on-one support they need, an appointment is recommended.
