Waste Connections on Mercantile Ave is the local spot where residents drop off household and yard refuse. Neighbors and small contractors use it for regular cleanups and storm debris after Florida storms. It sits in an industrial area of Naples and handles a steady stream of vehicles year-round.
Pull in off Mercantile and slow down for an entrance booth where staff check loads; be prepared to stop. The site is fairly spread out with big open tipping areas and piles or bays off to the sides, and separate sections for green waste are common at facilities like this. Traffic backs up on weekends and after hurricanes, so bring patience and watch for large trucks moving around. Expect to be directed where to dump and then to exit past a scale area where trucks are typically weighed.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads - wind and passing trucks can scatter light debris.
- Arrive early on weekends or right after storms to avoid long lines and the hottest part of the day.
- Have your vehicle and load easy to describe (pickup vs. trailer, amount of material) so staff can direct you quickly at the booth.
