Lee County operations make adjustments for Labor Day
The Labor Day holiday on Sept. 2 will result in some closures and schedule changes for Lee County operations. Here are the changes:
Solid Waste
All garbage, recycling and yard waste collections in unincorporated Lee County, the City of Bonita Springs and the Town of Fort Myers Beach will take place one day after the regularly scheduled collection day for the entire week beginning Sept. 2.
