Port Charlotte is unincorporated Charlotte County, so the county's Solid Waste division handles collection, with garbage, single-stream recycling, and yard trimmings all picked up on your scheduled day. Anything beyond the cart goes to one of two Mini-Transfer and Recycling Facilities, which require proof of county residency and allow each household 12 free visits per fiscal year. Recycling and household hazardous waste drop-offs do not count against that allowance.
The county provides single-stream recycling, so materials can be commingled in one cart: junk mail, magazines, newspapers, phone books, cardboard and paperboard, steel and aluminum cans, cartons with no liquid left, plastic containers coded 1 through 7 and empty, and clear, brown, and green glass.
Toys, food, yard waste, pool covers, coat hangers, foam cups, meat trays, egg cartons and packing materials, electronics or hazardous materials, plastic bags, medical waste including sharps and medicines, and extension cords, Christmas lights, or wires.
Residents are allowed 12 free visits per fiscal year, which runs October 1 through September 30. Recycling and household hazardous waste do not count toward those 12 visits. Little Gasparilla Island residents may use the West County facility only, at $10 per visit paid by VISA or MasterCard.
A valid form of identification showing your name, photo, and local address. Photo identification from other areas must be accompanied by a current utility bill or a document showing proof of residency at a Charlotte County residential address. P.O. Box addresses are not accepted.
The Mid-County and West Charlotte facilities are both open 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with all unloading completed by 4:00 p.m. and no exceptions. They are self service, so residents unload their own waste and county employees are not permitted to assist. Call the Solid Waste Division at 941.764.4360 for details. Both are among the transfer stations serving the area.
