Lee County will close two of the four hurricane debris public drop-off sites at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3, due to the declining use from residents. The two closing locations are:
- 13801 Orange River Blvd., Buckingham
- 50 South Road, Fort Myers
Residents in these areas who would like to use the sites listed above are encouraged to do so now.
Residents who wish to self-haul Hurricane Milton debris can use the two remaining drop-off sites, which will remain open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily:
- 5031 Pine Island Road, Bokeelia
- 18078 Cypress Point Road, San Carlos Park
Only storm debris will be accepted, and you must be prepared to unload your trucks yourself. No more than 5 cubic yards of debris may be dropped off at a time. Debris drop-off must occur during business hours—anyone who dumps material after 5 p.m. could be charged with illegal dumping.
Be prepared to show identification and be a resident of unincorporated Lee County. Accepted forms of ID include a driver’s license, utility bill, rental or lease agreement, or local business license.
You will be asked to complete a waiver confirming the debris came from your property. Waivers can be found online at leegov.com/solidwaste/hurricane , or printed forms are available on-site.
In addition to these debris drop-off sites, the county and its contracted vendor continue debris collection operations.
