Residential Waste Services

by CapeStyle Magazine | May 23, 2023 | City Hall

The City of Cape Coral contracts solid waste removal services to help keep our City's streets clean and safe. Each residence is provided a tan bin for household waste and a green bin for recyclables. These bins are property of the City and must remain with the dwelling.

Residents should familiarize themselves with trash collection protocols to optimize available services and stay in compliance with City requirements.

The City provides collection of residential horticulture waste including trimmed branches and limbs from trees and shrubs, grass clippings, fallen fruit, leaves, weeds, and palm fronds. Residents can:

Residents can also drop off bulk waste at the North Cape Government Complex, 1200 Kismet Parkway, Tuesday-Saturday, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. The Bulk Waste Drop-off Site can be accessed from Northwest 14th Avenue.

When a resident hires a company to work on fences, provide landscaping services, trim trees, etc. the service provider is responsible for disposing of all debris and rubbish resulting from the work. They may not leave anything behind for City contractors to collect.

The City holds quarterly drop-off events to collect bulk items and household chemical waste at City Hall, 1015 Cultural Park Boulevard. The next drop-off event will be held August 5, 2023 from 7-11 a.m.
