The city of Cape Coral will hold a waste collection event on Saturday, May 4, from 7-11 a.m. in the City Hall parking lot, 1015 Cultural Park Blvd.

In addition to the city’s longstanding partnership with Lee County’s Solid Waste Department to collect bulk items and household chemical waste the city is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to repurpose gently used bulk items.

Residents are encouraged to bring items that can be donated for reuse. No white goods, such as refrigerators or dishwashers, will be accepted.

These semi-annual events give residents another way to dispose of large items and a safe and responsible way to dispose of household chemical waste. Residents should use the main entrance to City Hall on Cultural Park Boulevard to drop off items. Materials for drop-off will be collected from vehicle trunks and truck beds. 

Proof of residency may be required to drop off items. Photo IDs with a Cape Coral address and Cape Coral utility bills from an active account are acceptable items to prove your residency.
