Waste Management collects unincorporated Charlotte County garbage, recycling, and yard waste once a week on your scheduled day, paid through a mandatory annual sanitation assessment on the property-tax bill. Punta Gorda runs its own collection.
Charlotte County contracts Waste Management as its sole franchise hauler for unincorporated areas from Port Charlotte to Englewood and Rotonda West. Curbside garbage, single-stream recycling, and yard waste are each collected weekly on your assigned day; set carts out by 5 a.m. Service isn't optional - every improved residential property is billed a non-ad-valorem sanitation assessment on the annual property-tax bill, so you pay whether or not you roll a cart to the curb. The City of Punta Gorda runs its own separate collection. Report missed pickups to Waste Management at 941.629.1106, or 941.697.0012 in the Englewood area.
Overfilled carts or waste set beside the cart get skipped. Repeated set-out and container problems fall to county code compliance, which issues notices and escalating fines for conditions left uncorrected.
