County launches real-time hurricane debris removal landing page
Garbage haulers this week are on Pine Island to collect household garbage and will begin collecting on Fort Myers Beach starting Wednesday, Oct. 12.
Because of impacts to the islands from Hurricane Ian, residents may see trash pickup later than their normal collection day. Island residents are asked to leave the trash at the side of the road. For public health and safety reasons, Solid Waste requests residents prioritize setting out kitchen trash and food waste. If able, refrain from setting out dry household garbage until the following week.
If you live on a road that is inaccessible to truck traffic, please bring garbage sealed in plastic bags to the closest accessible point. Crews will handle it from there.
Disaster debris is collected separately from household garbage by a specialized contractor.
More information is available at a newly created landing page, www.leegov.com/hurricane/storm/debris, which includes a link to Lee County’s real-time hurricane debris removal statistics, status update and map.
