LIFE ON FORT MYERS BEACH
Trash Pick-Up Times Change on Fort Myers Beach
Lee County and the Town of Fort Myers Beach are working to improve traffic flow during construction on Estero Boulevard. Beginning Monday, Feb. 22, all residential and commercial trash, recycle and yard waste collections on Fort Myers Beach may occur as early as 4 a.m. All Fort Myers Beach residents and businesses should have their trash, recycle and yard waste at the curb before 4 a.m. on their regularly scheduled days. This change will reduce vehicles stopping while Advanced Disposal trucks back into businesses and side streets along Estero Boulevard. CLICK HERE TO READ MOREMayor Responds to FMB Businesses
At last week’s public town hall meeting organized by Al Durrett and Bud Nocera, I promised I would get back to you within a week to let you know what steps had been taken to make doing business on Fort Myers Beach easier during the road construction. I am happy to report progress has been made. The credit for this goes to Commissioner Larry Kiker. He went to bat for us and the results show he was indeed listening.
