Need a dumpster in Matlacha? We're next door in Port Charlotte and we deliver all over Matlacha and Pine Island. You'll have the price before you book.
Matlacha is a tiny fishing village on the bridge-islands between Cape Coral and Pine Island. Pine Island Road runs straight through the middle of it, past the bright cottages, the art galleries, and the seafood spots along Matlacha Pass. The lots out here are small and the streets are narrow to match. Pine Island Road is the only way in or out, and everything crosses the Matlacha drawbridge. Locals call it the Fishingest Bridge in the World, because people line both rails with poles all day. That single-road access is the planning problem out here. When the bridge goes up, traffic stops, so it's worth telling us your window when you book. The water on both sides is the Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve, which is why lots are tight and there's nowhere to spread a job out.
We're based in Port Charlotte, so getting a roll-off out to you is a quick run. Whether you're cleaning out a waterfront cottage, redoing a kitchen, or running a job on one of these tight lots, we deliver the dumpster, you fill it, and we haul it off. One price, told to you up front.

We run three sizes, and on Matlacha's small lots the footprint matters as much as the load. The 7-yard is best for small home projects, single-room cleanouts, and yard waste, and it's the easiest fit for a tight lot. The 15-yard handles a medium job like flooring, a roof, or a multi-room cleanout. The 20-yard is for bigger remodels, construction debris, or storm cleanup.
Not sure which size fits your Matlacha project? Call or text and we'll help you pick.
Call or Text (239) 412-3283We deliver across the village and the islands beyond it. That covers Pine Island Road running through the middle of it all, Matlacha Isles and Matlacha Shores, the cottages and galleries along Matlacha Pass, and on out to Pine Island Center, St. James City, Bokeelia, and Pineland. We also serve the surrounding Lee County communities like Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and North Fort Myers.
The waterfront lots out here are small and the streets are narrow, so if your spot is tight, send a photo when you call and we'll plan the drop ahead of time.
We run out of Port Charlotte and cover Matlacha and the rest of Lee County. Driveways, jobsites, and everything between.
A lot of our Matlacha calls are waterfront cottage cleanouts, kitchen remodels, and stuffed-garage clear-outs. Contractors and handymen working the cottages and waterfront homes use our roll-offs for roofing, flooring, remodels, and tear-outs.
Matlacha took a hard hit from Hurricane Ian, so rebuilds and storm cleanups are still common out here. We run a lot of dumpsters for damaged drywall, ruined flooring, fencing, downed palm fronds, and yard debris. Gallery owners, shop keepers, restaurants along the Pass, and property managers call us to clear turnovers, remodels, and cleanouts.

Yes, we're right over the little bridge onto the island. If you're searching for a dumpster rental near you in Matlacha, Lee County, you've found the local one. We deliver 7, 15, and 20-yard roll-offs on driveway protection. Call or text (239) 412-3283 and we'll get one to you.
Around Matlacha the answer is yes right up until a project starts. Bulk goes curbside next to the regular garbage, and if it will not fit in the truck the hauler tags it and comes back inside three days. Construction debris is capped at under two cubic yards a week, fifty pounds a container where the truck is not automated. Concrete is not eligible for county pickup at all, and anything a contractor generates is the contractor's problem, not the county's. If your pile is a remodel, that is where it falls apart and a dumpster is the cheaper end of it.
Every week. It is about 32 road miles from the yard on Paulson Drive, under the 33993 ZIP. Same prices as anywhere else we go.
Usually, yes. Our 7-yard is the easiest fit for small lots, and if space is tight just send a photo when you call so we can plan placement.
Only if it's going on public property or in the road. On your own lot you're fine, and we'll help you check if you're not sure.
A 20-yard is the one for heavy storm debris, roofing, and large cleanouts.
You have two ways to get rid of it in Matlacha. The county truck is one of them. Bulk goes curbside next to the regular garbage, and if it will not fit in the truck the hauler tags it and comes back inside three days. Then you start a job, and the rules change on you.
| Lee County pickup | A dumpster | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Bulk goes curbside next to the regular garbage, and if it will not fit in the truck the hauler tags it and comes back inside three days. | Seven, fifteen or twenty yards in the driveway, yours for three days, delivery and pickup and disposal in the price |
| Turned away | Construction debris is capped at under two cubic yards a week, fifty pounds a container where the truck is not automated. Concrete is not eligible for county pickup at all, and anything a contractor generates is the contractor's problem, not the county's. | The debris that makes a project a project |

The quickest read on a job is the age of the house. Around here that is 1977.
| Fact | Matlacha | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| Median year built | 1977 | Old enough that the kitchens, baths and roofs have each come due at least once. Those tear-outs are heavy. |
| Housing units | 799 | Small enough that we know the roads by sight. |
| Median home value | $458,300 | Bigger projects, and bigger piles. Usually a 20-yard. |
