Lee County operations make adjustments for Independence Day
The Fourth of July holiday will result in some closures and schedule changes for Lee County operations.
Lee County offices will be open for regular business hours on Monday, July 3.
The following are adjustments due to Independence Day falling on a Tuesday:
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 July 4. This means that if the regular collection day is Tuesday, the collection truck will pick up that material on Wednesday. Wednesday’s regularly scheduled pickups will occur on Thursday and so on, the rest of the week through Saturday. This schedule is in effect through Saturday, July 8. Regular collection schedules resume on Monday, July 10.
Lee County Solid Waste facilities and offices are closed Independence Day, including the Household Chemical Waste Collection Facility at 6441 Topaz Court, and the Resource Recovery Facility on Buckingham Road.
The Solid Waste Division urges all residents to recycle the paper, plastic, metal and glass from their Independence Day weekend activities.
