Automated Garbage Pickup
- Charlotte County has extended the existing contract with Waste
Management to include once-a-week automated garbage pickup. This
change, which goes into effect on October 1, will allow the County to
reduce costs and to provide waste pickup in a more efficient manner. The
automated pickup will require a special garbage cart which will be
supplied free of charge. The cost savings for the first year are
expected to be $1.26 million and will reduce road travel by almost
295,000 miles annually.
Click here for more details on the program and to see a
demonstration of the automated garbage pickup.

Foreclosure assistance is available to households in Charlotte
County. This assistance includes funds for mortgage payments up to
$5,000 and/or negotiation with the mortgage lender to prevent
foreclosure. To find out more, contact the Housing Corporation at

TO ALL:
This is to inform you that there is a boat census under way by the
University of Florida , Florida Sea Grant College Program. You may
see a small 17 foot Key West center console or 13 foot Boston Whaler
Sport with the University of Florida and Florida Sea Grant Logo in
our canals.
I have verified the information with the Florida Sea Grant Marine Agent
for Charlotte County, Betty Staugler (941-764-4340).
The small boat crew members are visiting principal waterways of the
county, including canal systems, marinas, creeks and rivers. They
record information to verify vessel draft, such as make/model, length,
vessel types and estimated age, as wellas the registration number. The
data is logged in a GPS, along with each vessel's position.
The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Law
Enforcement (Captain Dennis Grealish, 239-332-6966), the Charlotte
County Sheriff's Office and Punta Gorda Police Department are aware of
the project.
If you would like more information about the Regional Waterway
Management System go to:

Hope this answers your concerns if you see one of these vessels. Please
pass this information on to your neighbors. |
