Collier County is reviewing options for expanding its landfill capacity. The "Option I - East (All Phases)" proposal involves acquiring and developing three contiguous phases (IA, IB, and IC) adjacent to the current Collier County Landfill (CCLF) footprint. This expansion would add approximately 183 acres to the landfill area. The project is currently under review, with a recommendation to proceed with property acquisition for this option. The work would involve site clearing, grading, construction of stormwater infrastructure, potential wetlands mitigation, and property acquisition. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the county before detailed plans and bids are finalized. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage for businesses specializing in site preparation, civil engineering, environmental services, and construction.
