Seasonal adjustment made to county’s collection schedule
Effective May 1, residents of unincorporated Lee County — which includes Captiva — and 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 5:30 a.m.
The county reported that it is one hour earlier than the typical set-out time of 6:30 a.m. The seasonal adjustment is to help the haulers’ drivers complete routes earlier in the day as summer’s heat arrives.
The change does not impact the day of the week for materials collection; that remains the same.
The unincorporated areas affected by the change include:
– Alva
– Captiva
– Fort Myers Shores
– Iona
– Lehigh Acres
– Matlacha
– North Fort Myers
– Pine Island
– South Fort Myers
