Orlando City Hall Introduces Single Stream
Recycling
Single stream, or single
bin, recycling takes advantage of the fact that recyclable materials can
be commingled when collected and then separated later at the recycling
center. With the exception of food
waste, almost all the trash material generated each day can be deposited
into a single bin and subsequently recycled.
Single stream recycling will
allow City Hall to decrease the amount of trash sent to the landfill and
substantially increase the amount of materials sent to local recyclers.

Green Works Business Workshops
 Mayor
Buddy Dyer and the City of Orlando introduced
Green Works Business at a
workshop on October 29. This educational program shared best practices
on how businesses can bridge the gap between traditional business
interests and the interests of preserving and protecting the environment
and building a more sustainable society. Representatives from the City
of Orlando, OUC, Lynx, HD Supply, Perkins and Will and Pepsi/ Frito Lay
shared how their company’s profits and operations go hand-in-hand with
environment and social performance.
Green Works Business will provide an open
forum that will expose businesses to new ways of measuring their bottom
line. Workshop participants will learn how local companies made this
shift and have embraced environmental and social accountability.
