County’s automated recycling a success
Lee County residents are recycling more, according to recent numbers calculated by Lee County Solid Waste.
In February, county officials began distributing larger, wheeled recycling carts to replace the familiar blue bins.
The first three months of collection showed a 12 percent increase in recycling in the South Fort Myers area and a 17 percent increase in North Fort Myers. These were the final areas of the county to receive the new carts.
Countywide there was an 8 percent increase in recycling for March through May compared with last year.
Lee County Solid Waste staff worked with residents to accommodate those with space restrictions by providing smaller carts.
All recycling revenue is returned to the system to help pay for operational costs.
