Lee County Solid Waste to begin seasonal adjustments to collection schedule
Some areas of county will see trash, recycling and yard-waste pickup begin an hour earlier
Residents of unincorporated Lee County in Pine Island, Matlacha, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers Shores, Alva, Lehigh Acres, south Fort Myers, Iona, the Village of Estero and Bonita Springs are asked to set their trash, recycling and yard waste to the curb by 5:30 a.m. beginning Thursday, May 1.
This is one hour earlier than the typical set-out time of 6:30 a.m. The seasonal change is to help the contracted haulers’ drivers complete routes earlier in the day as summer’s heat arrives. This annual seasonal adjustment does not impact the day of the week residents have their materials collected; that remains the same.
To learn more about what to set out at the curb and proper disposal methods, visit Lee County Solid Waste at www.leegov.com/solidwaste. To recall what your collection day is, visit www.leegov.com and input your address into the “Resident Information Lookup” on the home page.
