TIM NANCE (NORTH EAST) RECYCLING DROP-OFF CENTER - Landfill in Naples, Florida

TIM NANCE (NORTH EAST) RECYCLING DROP-OFF CENTER is a landfill facility located at 825 NE 39th Ave in Naples, Florida, within Collier County. The facility is operational and serves as a drop-off center for recycling and solid waste, supporting the waste management needs of the surrounding area. As part of the United States solid waste infrastructure, it operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. The facility is classified under NAICS code 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill) and is situated in a region with a growing population and tourism industry, which influences waste generation patterns. Typical operations at such facilities include waste acceptance, compaction, and periodic cover, with environmental controls for leachate management and gas collection. In Florida, landfill regulations also address groundwater protection due to the state's high water table and sensitive ecosystems. The center plays a key role in Collier County's waste management strategy by providing a convenient drop-off point for recyclables, thereby reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills. Its location in Naples, a coastal city, underscores the importance of proper waste handling to protect local waterways and the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. The facility contributes to community sustainability efforts through recycling diversion.

The facility operates in a region with a high water table and proximity to the Everglades ecosystem, making leachate management critical to prevent groundwater contamination. Landfill gas, primarily methane, must be collected and controlled to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Community proximity and traffic from waste hauling are also considerations, as Naples is a densely populated urban area.
