President's Message - Bulk Waste Drop Off

NWNA Members:

We will be hosting several Clean-the-Cape events in Northwest Cape Coral in 2022. Sponsors are lining up and many of you have reached out to ask when the events will be held. The news will follow on those events shortly from Patricia White, our Environment Committee Chair. You will also hear about Adopt-a-Spot, another 2022 initiative that will bring us together as a community and move us toward our goal of making Cape Coral the cleanest city in Southwest Florida. 

We have many new residents and I thought a friendly reminder on the rules of the road for trash collection would be helpful. The City of Cape Coral has done a great job of putting all the information together for us. Please see the attached email from Melissa Mickey, in the Office of Communications. Everything we need to know is contained in the message. 

There are several factors that contribute to the waste we all see strewn in vacant lots and on the side of the road. Please understand it is a complex issue and we are trying to address all of the factors, but the easiest one to tackle is how we put out the trash for pick up. Thank you to all of you who have participated in our Clean-the-Cape events and to the many residents I see picking up trash while you walk. It is making a difference.

Good afternoon John,

Per our conversation earlier this week I am sending you some links to information regarding trash, yard waste, recycling do's, and don'ts. 

The following is a link to our webpage which includes FAQs that may be helpful/useful, See below.

All Residential curbside services start at 6:00 AM, all items for collection should be placed curbside by 6:00 AM to avoid missing any of the collection vehicles. 

City ordinance dictates that items for collection cannot be placed curbside until after 5:00 p.m. one day prior to your collection day.

Extra garbage that does not fit in the brown garbage can be placed out for collection in plastic bags set next to the can. Each bag cannot weigh more than fifty (50) pounds and be stacked neatly at the curb.

Remember to keep a three (3) foot clearance between and around each can for collection and that the wheels and handle are to face the house. Please remember to also keep at least a five (5) foot clearance from mailboxes, trees, parked cars, etc.

Webpage Link Including FAQ's

The follow the link below to our webpage on solid waste, recyclables, horticulture, and bulk trash removal  - if you scroll through this page there is a lot of information and several videos created by Waste Pro on how to properly dispose of trash, the holiday schedules are listed, and there is additional helpful information.

Also, just FYI this year we have a post-Christmas holiday recycling event. It is at the Bulk Waste Drop Off located at the North Cape Government Complex on Kismet. The entrance to the Bulk Waste Drop Off is on NW 14th Ave. 

The event runs from December 26 through the 30th from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and is for recyclable cardboard only.
