Waste Pro solid waste collection resumed Monday, Oct. 14, on the normal schedule for all Cape Coral routes. This collection is for household garbage only, including spoiled food. Regular collection of recycling and manageably-sized bulk and horticulture waste will resume the week of October 21.
Hurricane Milton Debris Removal Plan:
Due to the lower volume of hurricane debris from Hurricane Milton compared to Hurricane Ian, the City's contracted debris hauler and City crews will conduct one pass for all storm debris collection beginning Monday, October 21. To be included in this hurricane debris collection, residents must set out all Hurricane Milton debris by Sunday, October 20.
Hurricane Debris Placement Guidelines:
· Most Important - Please set storm debris at the curb away from your normal weekly garbage service; it will be collected and documented separately.
· Place storm debris at the curb in four separate piles:
· Household garbage
· Appliances (white goods)
· Yard Waste
· Construction and demolition debris.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rules require documentation of the volume and type of debris collected to reimburse the city for storm cleanup, which saves local taxpayer dollars.
· Household garbage must be placed in a 40-gallon can or heavy plastic bag, each weighing no more than 50 pounds.
· To expedite collection, do not place anything beneath low hanging obstacles like trees or power lines or near anything like fire hydrants or mailboxes.
· Food must be removed from any appliance set at the curb. Inedible food should be placed with your normal weekly garbage.
