Lee County Solid Waste to resume standard collection schedule post-summer
Some areas of county will see trash, recycling and yard-waste pickup begin an hour later
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. 27.
This is one hour later than the seasonal set-out time of 5:30 a.m. The April-through-October seasonal change was to help the contracted haulers’ drivers complete routes earlier in the day during hot months. This operational adjustment does not affect the day of the week residents have their materials collected; that remains the same.
In addition to the change for the municipalities of Fort Myers Beach, Estero and Bonita, the unincorporated areas affected include:
• Captiva
• Pine Island
• Matlacha
• North Fort Myers
• Fort Myers Shores
• Alva
• Lehigh Acres
• South Fort Myers
• Iona
