Hazardous Waste for BusinessesHazardous Waste for Businesses
■ Hazardous Waste Laws prohibit improper disposal by commercial entities. The Solid Waste Management Department CAN NOT ACCEPT hazardous waste from businesses at our Household Hazardous Waste Centers
■ The Solid Waste Management Department offers an alternative in order to promote safe hazardous waste disposal for commercial customers. Businesses may bring their hazardous waste to the Naples Recycling Center on clean out days. Using this method the business will receive our contracted prices and will not pay the stopping fee. The transaction is between EQ Florida and the business; the manifest must be signed and all costs paid by the business’s representative. Contact 252-2508 for more information.
