E-waste
- How
- Lithium-ion batteries (cell phones, laptops, tablets, toys, e-cigarettes, power tools) are household hazardous waste — never place them in household garbage or recycling carts; take them to an Orange County drop-off location.
By law, hazardous waste cannot be collected curbside in Orlando — it must be taken to a specified drop-off; HHW disposal at the two Orange County facilities is free. Collection accounts are billed through OUC on the monthly utility bill. Carts left at the curb the morning after pickup day may incur a $25 fee.
