Waste Pro is reporting staffing shortages due to COVID-19, and in response the City of Cape Coral is advising residents they may experience delays in yard waste pickup beginning Monday, January 10.
Cape Coral residents should continue to put out their garbage, recycling, bulk waste and yard waste on their normally scheduled days.
To help mitigate Waste Pro’s current staffing challenges, the City has asked the company to prioritize utilizing the majority of Waste Pro’s available staff on the collection of garbage, recycling and large bulky waste items, and then yard waste.
Residents should know:
If you experience delayed service regarding yard waste, recycling, trash or bulky waste you are encouraged to report missed pick-ups to the City Call Center at 311.
The City and Waste Pro are asking residents to be please mindful of the amount of yard waste they place at the curb and reduce it, if possible.
Regular collections will resume as soon as collection crews are able to return to work.
*These changes do not impact the switch to Same-Day Pick-Up or the Bulk Waste Drop-Off Site. Same-Day Pick-Up will commence Monday, January 10 and the Bulk Waste Drop-Off Site is scheduled to open Tuesday, January 11.
In an effort to continue to enhance the services available to the residents of Cape Coral, the City is partnering with Waste Pro to offer residents a bulk waste drop-off site. The site is a complimentary service, and is an addition to the residential bulk item collection already provided. Residents are still able to place bulky waste curbside on their collection day.
The bulk waste drop-off site is a pilot program that will be implemented for one year. After evaluating public response, the City will decide whether or not to open a permanent location.
The bulk waste drop-off site will open on Tuesday, January 11, 2022. The facility is fenced and staff will be on-site to assist residents as needed. The site will operate Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Commercial businesses are not permitted to use the facility, because the program is an optional service for residential use only. Proof of residency may be required to dispose of items. Household chemical waste and recycling will not be accepted at the drop-off location.
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. (See map below)
Starting the week of January 10, 2022, bulky waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste will all be collected on the same day for Cape Coral residents.
Cape Coral is sending postcards to each of the 80,400 service addresses announcing the service enhancement. Residents with questions are encouraged to call the 311 Call Center or can call Waste Pro customer service at 239-337-0800, and can use the search feature on the City of Cape Coral website to determine their collection day at www.capecoral.gov under Public Works.
Additionally, the City is using the electronic billboards on Veterans Parkway and on Pine Island Road, and residents can also follow City of Cape Coral Government on social media for information about the changes.
“In an effort to enhance the lives of our residents, we are continuously evaluating and re-evaluating our processes in order to improve residents’ experience”, said Michael Ilczyszyn, Interim Director of Public Works.
“Same-day service reduces collection vehicle traffic in neighborhoods to one day per week and simplifies the disposal and collection efforts for our residents. The goal being better compliance and easier enforcement.”
The same-day service uses multiple trucks to complete collections.
