Residents of unincorporated Lee County — which includes Captiva — 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.
Lee County reported that it 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 the hotter months.
The operational adjustment does not affect the day of the week that residents have their materials collected; that remains the same.
Along with Captiva, the unincorporated areas affected include:
– Alva
– Fort Myers Shores
– Iona
– Lehigh Acres
– Matlacha
– North Fort Myers
– Pine Island
– South Fort Myers
