Orange County regulates waste management facilities separately and independently from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The County Ordinance is more restrictive and comprehensive than the State's. The operators of landfills, composting operations, land clearing debris disposal facilities, transfer stations, incinerators, and infectious/medical waste storage and treatment facilities must have both a state permit and a county permit.  For more information on obtaining state permits, contact the FDEP Central District office at (407) 894-7555.

The M2P2 Program is comprised of the Multi-Media (M2) regulatory compliance programs and the Pollution Prevention (P2) Program's non-regulatory technical assistance service.

Multi-Media (M2) regulates Small Quantity Generators, Household Hazardous Wastes, and Noise Control while providing Emergency Response for environmental hazards.

The Pollution Prevention (P2) Program provides free technical assistance to residents, businesses, and institutions to aid in achieving financial savings by advancing energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste stream reduction.
