NORTH PORT, FL - Beginning Oct. 1, 2023, Solid Waste is implementing collection route changes to prepare for the continued growth of the City. 

Collection in Wellen Park, which currently takes place entirely on Monday, will now be spread out over the week. All neighborhoods in Wellen Park still have one collection day per week, but some of those neighborhoods will see their collection day change.

Lakeside Plantation and other neighborhoods east of Toledo Blade Blvd., which currently have a collection day on Wednesday, will be collected on Tuesdays.

Some of the North Port Estates neighborhoods is shifting from a Tuesday collection to a Thursday collection.

A podcast featuring Solid Waste Manager Frank Lama further discusses the changes.

An interactive map is available for residents to find out if their area is affected. Visit NorthPortFL.gov/SolidWaste or call Public Works Customer Service at 941-240-8050 for details.
