POLK COUNTY – After more than 20 years, Polk County officials said that because of increasing costs globally, they are discontinuing the curbside recycling program beginning Oct. 1. The good news is recycling will still be available.
“With the global market collapse, there was a high degree of focus on the purity of recyclable materials,” said Dale Henderson, Polk County Solid Waste Director.
The “purity” of recyclables can be degraded easily. “It is very easy for recyclable material to become contaminated,” said Jeff Foley, Public and Media Relations Officer, Polk County Communications Division. “For example, if a soda bottle still has soda left inside or a pizza box has grease, those things are contaminated. Those soiled items can even impact other things in the bin.”
After Oct. 1, residents who still want to recycle after the county discontinues curbside collection will be able to do so at the Landfill.
Residents with an additional trash receptacle specifically for recycling may now use that can for regular and yard waste. Household and yard waste will be collected on the same day.
Some residents will also experience an additional change in their collection days. According to a press release, while FCC Environmental will continue collection operations in western Polk County, new hauler GFL Environmental, along with PCSW, will replace Advanced to the east beginning Oct. 1. GFL will cover the northern portion of the zone while PCSW will cover the southern portion. (see map)
Orange stickers have already been placed on household waste containers with the new collection days.
Residents who want to recycle after Oct. 1 are welcome to take their items to the North Central Landfill Recycling Area, 7425 De Castro Road, Auburndale.
With the change in services, the Polk County Waste & Recycling Division will become the Polk County Solid Waste Division on Oct. 1.
Unincorporated Polk County encompasses all residents who do not live within the city limits.

Sheriff Grady Judd will discuss the tragic details related to a 17-year old; Collin Griffith of Port Charlotte, murdering his mother, 39-year old Catherine Griffith, also of Port Charlotte, in Polk County (unincorporated Auburndale). The homicide occurred Sunday evening. Collin Griffith has been arrested and is in custody.
News briefing 2:00 p.m. today at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, in Winter Haven.
28-year old Brandyn Carmoega of Poinciana got arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on September 6, 2024, for a crime that occurred days earlier.
On August 29th, drove a U-Haul truck onto private property off of Deen Still Road (unincorporated Davenport) and dumped a load of furniture into a citrus grove. The items he dumped were dressers, a bed frame, a large video arcade game, and plastic & carboard boxes.
A PCSO detective began an investigation and found that the items came from a residence in the Highlands Reserve neighborhood of Davenport.
Property management for the residence told the detective that they paid Brandyn Carmoega $250 to haul the items to a thrift store.
The detective made contact with Carmoega by phone, but he refused to speak to the detective about the case.
An attorney for Carmoega later told the detective that Carmoega would meet with the detective at the PCSO Davenport substation, but Carmoega never showed up.
On the evening of September 6th, a traffic stop was conducted on Carmoega’s vehicle in the Davenport area, and he was arrested.
Brandyn Carmoega was taken to the Polk County Jail and charged with trespassing and illegal dumping.
Polk County Commissioners in January of 2024 set into motion an investigation into the management and administration of the Polk County Fire Rescue. The investigation report was released to the public around 9pm last night leads to many questions regarding Chief Smith’s management style.
Dr. Hezedean A. Smith is the current Fire Chief of Polk County Fire Rescue in Florida. Appointed in 2022, Dr. Smith was thought to bring a wealth of experience to the role, having served in various fire rescue positions prior to this. He was also celebrated as the first Black fire chief in the county’s history. Unfortunately a recent investigation into the management of the Polk County Fire Rescue has painted him in a negative light and it may cost him his job along with the jobs of the County Deputy Manager & County Manager who hired and supervised him. A thorough investigation in Chief Smith appears likely.
Editors Note: We want to make it clear that these are accusations against Dr. Hezedean A. Smith. The county has not released any details on how they view these allegations.
The entire 45 page report from Allen Norton & Blue, P.A. is linked below.
Editors Note: We will have several stories coming out over the course of the next few weeks, but we felt the public has a right to see the report as soon as possible.
Here are a few of the allegation remarks in the report:
“Criticisms of Fire Chief H. Smith’s Management Practices or Decisions
During this Review, numerous employees reported that their work environment is “toxic,” and that the toxic environment has been created by Fire Chief H. Smith. Numerous employees interviewed stated that they fear retaliation at work, and they feared retaliation for participating in this Review. Multiple employees asked that the Report not include their names.”
“Allegations of Poor Treatment by Fire Chief H. Smith
Multiple employees report that Fire Chief H. Smith projects a different management style to individuals outside of Fire Rescue than he does internally. They have observed that when Fire Chief H. Smith is facing County administrators and individuals outside of Fire Rescue, he is cordial, charismatic, organized, an effective communicator, and espouses collaboration and transparency. However, subordinates, including assistant and deputy chiefs as well as civilians in Fire Administration, state that internally, Fire Chief H. Smith belittles and bullies. One example, according to multiple employees, is Fire Chief H. Smith often in meetings puts employees on the spot with no advance notice, and if the employee falters, he demeans the employee and will not allow others present to offer information that may be helpful or exculpatory. The employees report they believe that Fire Chief H. Smith intentionally places them in a position to fail. It was reported to this Review that Fire Chief H. Smith’s actions towards them has a detrimental effect on their professional and personal confidence, and that the toxic work environment impacts their personal lives outside of work. Multiple employees stated that Fire Chief H. Smith does not practice collaboration because he commonly dismisses their ideas and directs them to follow his instructions.”
“Alleged Conflict between Fire Chief H. Smith and Dr. Paul Banerjee
Dr. Banerjee reports that he and Fire Chief H. Smith have had numerous conflicts, which is something Dr. Banerjee did not experience with prior chiefs. Dr. Banerjee reports that Fire Chief H. Smith has made little to no effort to collaborate with him. Multiple employees reported observing a poor working relationship between Fire Chief H. Smith and Dr. Banerjee.”
Editors Note: Dr. Paul Banerjee is the Medical Director for Polk County Fire Rescue, Polk Count SWAT team, Dr. Banerjee Assistant Professor in Emergency Medicine at the UCF School of Medicine,. Dr. Banerjee was an EMS 10, 2017 Innovator of the year, and the State of Florida Medical Director of the year 2012. It appears He has been employed by the county since 2014.
“Reluctance to Report Issues to Human Resources
Many Fire Rescue employees state they have not or would not take a complaint to HR or the County’s Office of Equal Opportunity (EO) because, based on past events, they do not have faith in HR or EO to conduct the investigation or make an adverse finding against a director level or higher-ranking County employee. Similarly, multiple employees also reported they do not report issues to HR because they fear doing so will make them a target for retaliation.”
“Digital and Media Services Manager Complaint
For example, in the EO Office’s investigation into a complaint by a former Digital and Media Services Manager against Fire Chief H. Smith, the ultimate report does not address numerous allegations against Smith. (See Attachment 8). The Digital and Media Services Manager provided documentation alleging that Smith, on multiple occasions, commented on the races of current or future employees or appeared to suggest that race could or should be factored into an employment decision or practice.9 It also appears that numerous potential witnesses were not interviewed by the Equal Opportunity Administrator. The Digital and Media Services Manager provided alleged witness accounts from Josh Whitehead, Jen Boden-Evans, Jennifer Huff, Deborah Jones Strafford, Betzi LaCounte complaining about Fire Chief H. Smith’s conduct. The report does not mention if it interviewed those witnesses nor does it appear to address their allegations. (See Attachment 9).”
“Administrative Secretary’s Access
The Administrative Secretary alleges that Fire Chief H. Smith often called the personal phone of his Administrative Secretary after hours at the beginning of his tenure. The Administrative Secretary alleges she advised Fire Chief H. Smith that her position is non-exempt and she does not have a County phone, and asked him to stop the after hours calls. The Administrative Secretary alleges that Fire Chief H. Smith responded by eliminating her access to systems and information at work. The Administrative Secretary alleges spoke with Halman’s assistant about the issue and then directly to Fire Chief H. Smith about her needing to have that access to perform her duties. Only then was her access restored.”
“New Hire Ceremonies
Fire Rescue generally has ceremonies for new hire classes and also for graduates of the PDRTP (Polk Diversity Recruitment Training Program). Fire Chief H. Smith as well as training officers attend, which this Report notes is a very positive practice for numerous reasons. Communications takes pictures of these ceremonies for posting notices of congratulations and other various publication means. Multiple employees reported having observed Fire Chief H. Smith, when posing a new hire class for a picture, gather all the African American or Black new hires around him and tell white or other races to move to the outside of the grouping. On one particular occasion, a Communications employee was trying to move people around so all would be visible to the camera, and asked an African American new hire to move so a shorter white new hire could be better seen, and Fire Chief H. Smith stated, in sum, “No. I need my people around me.” The picture taken at this event is Attachment 20. Similarly, Fire Rescue personnel report that while at a PDRTP graduation ceremony, the graduates had already posed themselves, but then Fire Chief H. Smith moved the two Caucasian employees to the back row. The picture taken at this event is Attachment 21.”
16-year old George Jenkins High School student arrested by Polk County Sheriff’s Office for threatening a mass-shooting at school
A student from George Jenkins High School in Lakeland was arrested Thursday morning, September 5, 2024, after deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office became aware of a threat to shoot-up the school.
PCSO deputies were notified of the threat by a Jacksonville detective at about 7:00 am Thursday.
The threat was made to a suicide hotline from a cell phone that was eventually tracked to George Jenkins High School.
PCSO deputies determined the call was made from a phone belonging to 16-year old Orion Isaiah Burts of Lakeland.
The deputies immediately responded to the school and located Burts. A School Resource Deputy checked Burts’ cell phone and determined that it was the phone used to make the threatening call. No weapons were found.
“Threatening mass shootings at or against a school and students is serious. Words matter, and Orion Burts is finding that out now. He is facing multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.
Orion Isaiah Burts was arrested and charged with making a false report concerning use of firearms in a violent manner (F2), unlawful use of 2-way communications device (F3), false report of a commission of a crime (M1), and disrupting a school function (M2).

A group of four Colombians in the United States illegally are responsible for nine high-end residential burglaries in a half-dozen Florida counties, and they are suspected in more. Detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office collaborated with sheriff’s offices in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, and Collier counties, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.
All four suspects were living in Winter Garden, Florida and in the United States illegally. The group targeted the homes of business owners and would surveil the residences ahead of each burglary. Among the items that were sought by the group were: jewelry and watches, designer purses and bags, and cash.
In Polk County, one burglary is known to have occurred in Lakeland, with four other burglaries still under investigation and believed to have been committed by the group. Four burglaries were committed by the group in Hillsborough County, and one burglary each in the other four counties.
The total value of thefts from the nine burglaries is estimated at $1,690,100.
“Polk County and the State of Florida are not alone in this problem; South American Theft Groups are targeting communities all across the country. All four of our suspects have taken advantage of our functionally non-existent border control and entered into the United States illegally to conduct their illegal activities. I am proud of the work by our detectives, the various sheriff’s offices, FDLE, and the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “These defendants conspired together to commit multiple burglaries across Central Florida—using members of the group as decoys outside the homes of small business owners while others broke into the residences, stealing more than $1.5 million worth of items. Thanks to the great investigative work of our law enforcement partners, our Statewide Prosecutors have charged them with serious felony counts and these criminals will be held accountable.”
FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass said, “Like so many others before them, these criminals entered our country illegally and found their way to Florida to victimize our citizens. But under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Attorney General Ashley Moody and sheriffs like Grady Judd and Chad Chronister, law and order matters and that means the safety of our citizens will always be a top priority. I thank our FDLE agents and analysts who worked diligently on this investigation.”

Hey everybody it’s Carl, cofounder of the Daily Ridge. My wife and I love travel, but it can be very expensive. We are parents to three kids, now grown, so we have always traveled on a budget. Resort vacations did happen when we could fit them in with some type of work conference. We mostly did road trips with the kids.
Now we are somewhat empty nesters and travel a lot more. Still you have to budget. This past week I got a great idea to celebrate my wife’s birthday in New England. And we are doing it on a budget. We will fly into Hartford, Connecticut and drive through Massachusetts to New Hampshire. Then on to Kennebunkport, Maine and Bar Harbor, Maine. Eventually working our way down the East Coast and head back to Hartford. I’ll give more details at another time why I like flying into Hartford.
We figured we would share our traveling tips with you. We also felt comfortable in bringing you a long with us on the journey. First thing will do is explain the initial cost. You obviously will need to have a plane ticket, rental, car, and a place to sleep for three nights.
I was very lucky to get some cheap tickets just two weeks ago.
Round trip ticket from Orlando airport to Hartford Connecticut (direct flight – Frontier) $66 each. That is all taxes and fees included!
So for two tickets it’s $132.00
Rental Car
I used Budget (long history of good service, easy app, and reasonable prices) and have the vehicle for 4 full days at $237. We are also going to try out an EV SUV for the first time! Wish us luck.
Our rooms are not totally booked but I’ve got some places in mind around $100 per night. I’ll give more details soon on the rooms.
That’s it for this post, but will provide more details soon!
