Waste collection pick up time to change Monday
Residents of unincorporated Lee County, the town of Fort Myers Beach, village of Estero and city of Bonita Springs are asked to set their trash, recycling and yard waste to the curb by 6:30 a.m. beginning Monday, Oct. 26.
It is an hour and a half later than the seasonal set-out time of 5 a.m.
“The April-through-October seasonal change was to help the contracted haulers’ drivers complete routes earlier in the day during hot months,” Lee County Solid Waste reported.
In addition to the change for the municipalities of Fort Myers Beach, Estero and Bonita, the unincorporated areas affected include:
– Alva
– Captiva
– Fort Myers Shores
– Iona
– Lehigh Acres
– Matlacha
– North Fort Myers
– Pine Island
– South Fort Myers
The operational adjustment does not affect the day of the week that residents have their materials collected; those remain the same.
