An auto parts recycling operation is under review for 5320 Combee Road North.

Orlando Auto Parts Recycling is seeking approval for a facility at 5320 Combee Road North. The concept plan is currently under review with the City of Lakeland. A related site plan was withdrawn, and a zoning verification is also under review. The Southwest Florida Water Management District approved an environmental permit for the 4-acre site in February 2026, describing the project as commercial truck parking.

What happens next

The City of Lakeland is reviewing the concept plan. Approval from local planning staff and potentially a hearing before the City Commission would be next steps.
