Mid County Mini is a small community waste drop-off in Port Charlotte used by local homeowners and handymen hauling yard clippings, household junk, and storm debris. Located on Kenilworth Blvd, it’s the sort of place neighbors swing by when cleaning out the garage or after yard work. Expect a modest, working-site feel rather than anything fancy.
Drive up to a single entrance where an attended booth and a weigh scale are common at facilities like this, so be ready to pull up and stop briefly. The site looks like a typical transfer area with piles and containers, berms, and cleared lanes for trucks and trailers; traffic moves slowly on busy days. Separate spots for yard waste are often set off from the main disposal area, and hurricane-season debris can make the place busier and messier than usual. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lines, so plan for a wait.
Facility Information

- Secure loads and tarp loose debris-wind and passing traffic can scatter light material.
- Sort yard waste from mixed trash in advance when possible; it speeds unloading and is how many Florida sites operate during routine and storm cleanup.
