Recycling in Punta Gorda, Florida

The City of Punta Gorda Public Works Department runs trash and yard waste pickup with its own crews, and Waste Management (WM) empties the single-stream recycling carts under a city contract. Glass bottles and jars go in the cart here. Electronics, appliances, tires, and car batteries leave by special pickup request, collected on Fridays. Not every 33950 address sits inside city limits, so confirm your address before you request service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Punta Gorda recycling cart?

Put glass bottles and jars, emptied plastic containers, aluminum and steel cans, empty cartons, newspapers, junk mail, magazines, paperboard like cereal boxes, and flattened cardboard in the cart, all loose. Books go in after you tear off hard covers. Foam cups, meat trays, egg cartons, plastic bags, toys, pool covers, coat hangers, and electronics stay out, and one contaminated load gets the whole cart rejected.

How do I set out my recycling cart in Punta Gorda?

Roll the WM recycling cart to the curb by 6:00 AM on your scheduled pickup day, with the opening facing the street. Leave 5 feet of clearance between the cart and your mailbox or other curbside items so the automated arm can grab it. If a pile of moving boxes will not fit in the cart, request a special cardboard collection at 941-575-5050.

How do I recycle electronics in Punta Gorda?

Request a special pickup online or at 941-575-5050. WM collects computers, monitors, printers, TVs, VCRs, and DVD players on Fridays only, using a separate truck from the regular recycling route. Set your electronics at the curb the night before collection. The city handles appliances and water heaters the same way, as a Friday special pickup through the Citizen Request Form.

How do I get rid of old tires, motor oil, and car batteries in Punta Gorda?

Request a Friday special pickup for passenger and street-size pickup tires up to 25 inches in diameter, with or without rims, limited to 6 per household each calendar year. Non-leaking lead-acid car batteries follow the same Friday request process, set out Thursday evening. Used motor oil goes out on your regular recycling day in a sealed screw-top container, with oil filters in a clear plastic bag.

What are the yard waste rules in Punta Gorda?

Each home sets out up to 3 cans of yard waste, each with a lid and handles and under 35 pounds, plus up to 3 bundles or paper bags under 35 pounds each. Tie limbs into bundles no longer than 4 feet, and never use plastic bags. For a pile between 1 and 5 cubic yards, request a bulk yard waste pickup and place it at the edge of the pavement, clear of power lines and mailboxes.

Where do Punta Gorda residents take construction debris?

City crews never collect construction material, so haul it to Charlotte County's Mid-County Mini-Transfer & Recycling Facility at 19675 Kenilworth Blvd in Port Charlotte, or have your contractor take it. The facility is free for Charlotte County residents who show a driver's license, utility bill, or tax bill, and a P.O. Box address does not count. Whole tree removal and lot clearing belong to the owner or contractor, and the Charlotte County Landfill takes that debris.
