Litter and Baffle Boxes

Baffle boxes are installed where the Stormwater system empties into a lake. Baffle boxes contain a series of chambers designed to trap pollutants and sediments, preventing them from entering our lakes. Debris and excessive pollution can prevent baffle boxes from working efficiently.

Help keep baffle boxes working properly by minimizing the trash and debris that enter them:

• Picking up litter in your neighborhood, including volunteering with Keep Orlando Beautiful, Inc.
• Keeping yard waste like leaves and grass clippings out of the streets and sidewalks.
• Report lake or Stormwater pollution to the Stormwater hotline.

To see one in action, check out the new see-through nutrient baffle box in Al Coith Park.
