What it takes
The Mid-County Mini-Transfer & Recycling Facility and the West Charlotte Mini-Transfer & Recycling Facility take paint, brush, used motor oil, batteries, and household hazardous waste.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Charlotte County rules
- The landfill charges $49.88 a ton ($5 minimum) for waste from the county and $99.74 a ton ($17 minimum) for waste from outside it; tile, dirt, gravel, pavers, and small pieces of concrete without rebar are free. Visa or Mastercard only, no cash. Boats (drained, with the gas tank out) and special handling items come only 7 to 11 a.m. or 2 to 3:30 p.m., and wide loads aren’t taken for now.
- Homes that pay the county’s sanitation fee get up to 4 cubic yards of bulky items and refuse a week at the curb, plus 10 bundles or bags of yard waste. Appliances (four times a year, free) and electronics are picked up by request: use the county’s online request form, or call Waste Management at 941-629-1106 (941-697-0012 in Englewood) two days ahead. Motor oil, oil filters, and car batteries go out on your collection day, 5 feet from the carts.
