Residents of unincorporated Lee County are asked to set their trash, recycling and yard waste to the curb by 5 a.m. beginning this week.
This will apply to Pine Island, Matlacha, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers Shores, Alva, Lehigh Acres, south Fort Myers and Estero.
It is one hour earlier than the typical set-out time of 6 a.m.
The temporary change is said to help Waste Pro drivers avoid excessive heat during summertime's late afternoons.
This does not impact the day of the week residents have their materials collected; that remains the same.
