ORLANDO – The Central District Solid Waste Program on Wednesday held a workshop for waste tire collectors and processors. The objective of the workshop was to educate industry professionals about the Department's requirements so they could more easily stay in compliance.

Representatives from 14 businesses and government entities attended and put forth a good discussion of Department rules and regulations. Case studies were used to show good and bad examples of waste tire management. Following the workshop, two of the businesses requested a compliance assistance visit so they could ensure they are meeting all of the requirements.

The next workshop will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Dec.17 in Marion County. For more information, contact the Solid Waste Manager, Glorida-Jean Depradine at 407-897-4312.
