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. 26.<\/p>\n
It is an hour and a half later than the seasonal set-out time of 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe April-through-October seasonal change was to help the contracted haulers\u2019 drivers complete routes earlier in the day during hot months,\u201d Lee County Solid Waste reported.<\/p>\n
