A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and household junk

Accepted with preparation

Cape Coral collects bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste on the same day, so bulky items go out with the regular collection rather than on a separate appointment.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with residential collection under the city's Waste Pro contract. A move-out load is not part of the normal bulk pickup, must be scheduled, and may carry a fee.
When & how
Put the items out for the address on the normal collection day, which is also the recycling and yard waste day. Curbside service begins at 5 a.m. from May 1 to September 30 and at 6 a.m. from October 1 to April 30.
Get it ready
Place every item within three feet of the road and at least five feet from a fixed object such as a fire hydrant, mailbox, car, storm drain or utility pole. Do not stack bulk items, break cardboard down into the recycle bin, keep anything that fits a trash bin in the bin, and keep each piece light enough for two people and under 150 pounds.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The bulk pile follows the trash day rules

Bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste are collected on the same day, so the pile goes out with the regular run. Every item sits within three feet of the road and at least five feet from a hydrant, mailbox, car, storm drain or utility pole, nothing is stacked, cardboard is broken down into the recycle bin, and anything that fits in the trash bin belongs in the bin. A single item over 150 pounds is refused, and a move-out load has to be scheduled because it is not part of the normal bulk pickup.

Cart placement and extras

Curbside service starts at 5 a.m. between May 1 and September 30 and at 6 a.m. between October 1 and April 30, and carts may go out after 5 p.m. the day before. Keep three feet of clearance around every can with the wheels and handle facing the house and at least five feet from mailboxes, trees and parked cars. Extra garbage goes in plastic bags next to the can at 50 pounds or less each, extra recycling goes in an empty cardboard box marked EXTRA RECYCLE at 50 pounds or less, and a missed pickup is reported to the city 311 service after 6 p.m. on the collection day.

Open the bulk drop-off site page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Cape Coral has one curbside route and two drop-off paths. Bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste are all collected on the same day, so furniture, mattresses, televisions, exercise machines and white goods go out with the regular run within three feet of the road, never stacked and never over 150 pounds per item, and a replaced appliance can also be booked as a free white goods pickup through Waste Pro on 239-337-0800. Anything that will not wait or will not fit goes to the city bulk waste drop-off site at 1200 Kismet Parkway, entered off NW 14th Avenue, open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for residents only, which takes bulky waste, white goods and horticultural waste but refuses garbage, recyclables, construction debris and chemicals. Chemicals, paint, liquids, fluorescent tubes, electronics, batteries, automotive oil and gas and propane tanks go to Lee County's facility at 6441 Topaz Court in Fort Myers, open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon, or to the city's events on the first Saturday in May and November at City Hall. Construction and demolition debris has no city route at all, so a project load needs a private or out-of-city site.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cape Coral.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Cape Coral?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

Does Cape Coral pick up bulk waste on the normal trash day?

Yes. Bulk waste, garbage, recycling and yard waste are all collected on the same day, so a compliant pile goes out with the regular collection. Items go within three feet of the road, at least five feet from fixed objects, are never stacked, and nothing that fits in the trash bin belongs in the pile.Official guidance
