Lee County operations adjust schedules for Labor Day
Most Lee County administrative operations will be closed Monday, Sept. 2, in observance of Labor Day.
The county’s holiday schedule adjustments are as follows:
Solid Waste
All garbage, recycling and yard waste collections in unincorporated Lee County, the City of Bonita Springs, the Village of Estero and the Town of Fort Myers Beach will take place one day after the regularly scheduled collection day following the Labor Day holiday. This means that if your regular collection day is Monday, Sept. 2, the pickup day will be Tuesday. Tuesday’s regularly scheduled pickups will be on Wednesday and so on for the rest of the week through Saturday, Sept. 7.
Regular collection schedules resume on Monday, Sept. 9.
Lee County Solid Waste facilities and offices are closed on Monday, Sept. 2, in observance of the holiday. This includes operations at the Household Chemical Waste Collection Facility, 6441 Topaz Court, the Resource Recovery Facility on Buckingham Road and the Lee/Hendry Regional Solid Waste Disposal Facility.
Solid Waste urges all residents to recycle plastic, metal and glass containers from Labor Day activities.

The county asks park patrons to remember that no alcohol is permitted in county parks.
Lee County reminds residents and visitors that the Causeway Islands Park on the Sanibel Causeway remains closed to watercraft, pedestrian and bicycle traffic due to the Florida Department of Transportation’s active construction zone.
People launching boats, kayaks or other watercraft at Lee County facilities in the greater Pine Island area should be aware that construction is also underway on the Little Pine Island Bridge. The FDOT states that work on the bridge, which is on the west side of Matlacha, will continue through the Labor Day holiday weekend, so motorists and boaters are asked to use caution in the area.
