The city of Cape Coral’s solid waste contractor, Waste Pro, has adjusted residential trash, recycling, and yard waste collection schedules, which take effect on Monday, Oct. 20.

Postcards outlining the changes have been mailed to affected households; however, residents are encouraged to verify their updated pickup days by visiting CapeCoral.gov/TrashPickup.

Please note: Some homes should be prepared to now have their waste collected on Monday.

Approximately 20 percent of Cape Coral’s residential customers will see a change to their assigned collection day. Commercial customers are not impacted.

Although the day of service will not change for most residents, the time or order of collection may vary. To ensure collection, set carts and yard waste out by 6 a.m.
