Lee County Curbside Recycling Program

In order for the new system to perform effectively and to optimize operations, the Lee County Solid Waste Division asks residents to ensure that no trash is included in their recycle containers.

Lee County's goal is also to recover more cardboard as a recyclable material. Residents are asked to place cardboard at the curb only on their recycling collection day.

Cardboard placed at the curb on your garbage day will not be collected and will be tagged informing you to put it at the curb on recycle collection day.

If you are unsure if a product is recyclable, then please call the Lee County Solid Waste Division at (239) 533-8000.

Thank you for keeping the recycle stream clean.
