Fall Cleanup 2023 – Households North of Fairbanks/Aloma Avenues
It’s that time of year again! Now is the time for fall cleaning just in time for the holidays. The City of Winter Park encourages residents to participate in the city’s annual Fall Cleanup which will be held during the month of November. The annual Fall Cleanup provides an extra “bonus” pickup day so that residents can dispose of old furniture, broken appliances and other bulky items.

To take advantage of this convenient service, residents must place their items curbside after 5 p.m. on the evening prior to their second regularly scheduled pickup day.

Households South of Fairbanks/Aloma avenues – November 9 or 10

Electronics Recycling
Computers and televisions are specifically targeted for recycling because of the high lead levels found in their cathode ray tubes (CRTs). CRTs are the video display components of televisions and computer monitors. Because they contain high levels of lead, cathode ray tubes in computers and televisions may pollute the environment if improperly disposed. Recycling, instead of landfilling, is the preferred method to handle e-scrap.
Electronic equipment from your home can be recycled. Examples of electronic equipment include: Computers, Televisions, VCRs, Fax machines, CD players, and Stereos.
You may bring these items to the next disposal event:
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL
When: Saturday, April 23, 2022

- If your recycle bin is full, put excess recyclables into brown paper bags.
- Plastic bags and Styrofoam containers can be recycled at local grocery stores with designated recycling bins.
- Fluorescent light bulbs can be recycled at a major home improvement store.
- Place yard waste at curb for the scheduled Wednesday pick up only. Please use a cart or can for loose cuttings, avoid using plastic bags. Paper yard waste bags are available at local hardware stores.
Did You Know?
Plastic Bags are NOT recyclable in our single stream curbside pickup.
They clog the separating system and are the leading contamination issue that cause loads to end up in the landfill. Please do not put recyclables into plastic bags.
Paper or Plastic? No Thanks!
Take reusable bags with you every time you go shopping.
