Spring Cleaning in Naples often means a little more than a dust and a vacuum. Our Spring cleaning often encompasses hurricane prep which entails trimming trees, securing loose gutters, removing debris, a general battening down of the hatches if you will. Luckily for residents of Collier County the local recycling centers are lending a hand to make preparing your home for hurricane season a little easier on the budget.
This Saturday April 23 from 8:30 am until 2:00 pm select Collier County recycling centers are helping everyone prepare for hurricane season by accepting your used, unwanted, and space-hogging materials at no cost to you.
Among the items accepted for recycling you will find:
Expired or unused prescriptions
