Curbside service includes up to 4 cubic yards of bulk items a week - furniture and appliances with refrigerant removed. Construction debris and larger loads go to the Charlotte County Landfill on Zemel Road.
Waste Management's residential service allows up to 4 cubic yards of household bulk items per week - furniture, mattresses, and white goods with refrigerant removed - set curbside on your collection day. Construction and demolition debris is not part of curbside pickup; haul it, along with major renovation and storm debris, to the Charlotte County Landfill at 29751 Zemel Road, Punta Gorda. After Hurricanes Charley in 2004 and Ian in 2022, the county ran separate storm-debris collection for the enormous volumes of downed trees and building material. Illegal roadside dumping is a state crime and a recurring problem on Port Charlotte's vacant lots.
Dumping litter or bulk waste on roadsides or vacant land violates Florida's Litter Law and county code, with fines that climb by volume. Setting bulk items out days early can draw a citation.
