Residential Trash Collection:
All Residential curbside services start at 6:00 a.m., so please make sure that all items for collection are placed curbside by 6:00 a.m. to avoid missing any of the collection vehicles.
Waste Pro provides residential collection and disposal service for all household trash, garbage, and recycling generated from residential customers, which has been properly prepared and contained in the correct refuse container provided under the Automated Cart Program.
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 can not 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 keep at least a five (5) foot clearance from mailboxes, trees, parked cars, etc.
Residential Recycling Collection:
Residential curbside collection is provided one (1) time per week. Your collection day is based on your location and is the same day as your trash day.
Extra recycling that does not fit in the green recycle can may be placed out for collection in an empty cardboard box with the words “EXTRA RECYCLE” written large and clear enough for the driver to see set next to the can. Each box is to be placed neatly at the curb and cannot weigh more than fifty (50) pounds.

Residential Horticulture Collection:
Waste Pro provides Residential Yard Waste (horticulture) collection and disposal service for all TRIMMINGS (branches and limbs from trees and shrubs), grass clippings, fallen fruit, leaves, weeds, and palm fronds generated from residential customers which have been properly contained (bagged or containerized less than 50 lbs.) and placed curbside for collection. Branches and limbs from trees and shrubs are to be cut in lengths no more than six (6) feet long and tied up in bundles weighing no more than fifty (50) pounds and no more than 4 inches in diameter.
Palm Fronds do not need to be cut down, bundled, or tied. Just make one (1) single neat pile with nothing but palm fronds in a pile and a second neat pile with the rest of your yard waste that has been bundled and tied up. Small clippings, weeds, grass clippings, etc. may be put in your own personal garbage can that is no more than forty (40) gallons in size, has a weatherproof lid and handles on both sides of the brown paper or plastic lawn and leaf bags you can purchase from local stores. Each can or bag of yard waste set out for collection can weigh no more than fifty (50) pounds. There is a charge for collection and disposal of land clearing debris.

Bulk Waste Drop-Off Site is Open for Residents
The bulk waste drop-off site is a pilot program that will be implemented for one year. The site operates Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
The bulk waste drop-off site is located on the west side of the North Cape Government Complex. The address for the complex is 1200 Kismet Parkway; however, the bulk-drop off-site entrance is off NW 14th Avenue, at the western portion of the complex.
In addition, don't forget about the quarterly drop-off event located at City Hall, 1015 Cultural Park Boulevard, Cape Coral.
