Temporary Change for Waste Pro Pickup Effective September 1
Waste Pro will begin picking up trash an hour earlier, beginning Friday, Sept. 1. Please place all items for collection curbside the night before or by 5 a.m. to avoid missing any collection vehicles.
City Council approved Ordinance 235-23, temporarily modifying Waste Pro’s collection schedule and noise exemption from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, 2023. Due to unprecedented temperatures and heat index in Southwest Florida, Waste Pro requested that their drivers begin their collection routes one hour earlier at 5 a.m.
Trash totes should be placed curbside no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before your scheduled collection day. Carts should be five feet away from your mailbox, trees, fire hydrants, cars, sprinkler heads, or any other damageable property.

Take Charge Lee County!
When certain batteries are improperly disposed of they can become a fire hazard. This is why we are asking our residents and visitors to take charge and learn more about proper battery disposal.
No batteries should go in your recycling cart.
Household alkaline batteries such as AA, AAA, C, D and 9 volt can all go in with your regular garbage
Button batteries for watches and hearing aids can also go in your regular garbage.
Nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries found in cordless phones, rechargeable batteries like those found in cordless drills, and car batteries should all be taken to the Topaz Court Solid Waste Facility.
An increasing number of products contain Lithium-ion batteries, which is why Lee County Solid Waste is encouraging residents to be aware of these products before just throwing them out. These batteries can now be found in the following products:
- Electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices and smart wearables
- Power tools
- Remote car keys
- Vaping devices
- Game controllers
- Digital cameras
- Portable power packs
- Greeting cards
- Electric toothbrushes
- Toys
- Medical equipment
