Beginning this week, all Cape Coral homes will have a designated Bulk Item Pick Up Day EACH week.

Your bulk item pick up day will be the day after your trash/recycling is collected. (For example: If trash is collected on Thursdays, then bulk items will be collected on Fridays. If your trash is collected on Fridays, then bulk items will be collected on Mondays.)

Bulk items (e.g. mattresses, furniture, and other large items that don’t fit into a Waste Pro container) should be separated and placed at the curb between 5 p.m. the day before collection, and 6 a.m. on collection day.

The previous Waste Pro procedure required residents to contact Waste Pro to schedule a bulk item pick up. Now, bulk items will be picked up weekly on your designated day and no phone call is necessary.
