The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fort Myers runs its own collection inside the city limits, and service is mandatory for any resident or business with an active water or sewer account. The weekly round includes a bulky item pickup of up to four cubic yards of large household items such as furniture and mattresses, a yard waste pickup of up to ten cubic yards, and a separate white good route for stoves, refrigerators and washers and dryers, with junk and brush kept apart. The city does not collect household chemicals or electronics: those go to Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility at 6441 Topaz Court, which takes chemicals and devices free through a drive-through, while rechargeable batteries go there too and never into the recycling cart.

When & how
Set the furniture out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready

White goods such as stoves, refrigerators and washers and dryers are collected weekly on their own route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. White good removal runs once a week and is part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account, with junk and brush kept separate from the white goods.

The city does not collect electronics, and Lee County's Topaz Court facility takes computers, printers, scanners, televisions and monitors free.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility at 6441 Topaz Court accepts computers, printers and copiers, scanners, televisions and monitors free from county residents through a drive-through, and the county also allows those items to go curbside with regular garbage in its own programme. The city's FAQ says the city does not collect electronics while its recycling page says a special pickup has to be scheduled, so confirm the current practice with the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050.
When & how
Take the device to 6441 Topaz Court, Fort Myers, open 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of the month, or call the Solid Waste Division if you want the city to schedule a pickup.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before the device leaves your hands, and remember the county's electronics programme does not take wires and cables, keyboards and mice, remote controls, modems and routers, microwaves and toaster ovens, corded vacuum cleaners, solar panels or satellite dishes.
The city's bulky route is for large household items, and Lee County requires construction debris to be diverted and sorts it at its own facility.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate covers a renovation load: the bulky route takes large household items rather than project debris, and Lee County sorts construction and demolition material at its own facility with private recyclers also available, so confirm the receiving site, the diversion requirement and the scale charge before hauling.
When & how
Arrange the receiving facility or recycler before the work starts, and keep construction material off the city's bulky, yard waste and white good piles.
Get it ready
Separate wood, concrete, metal and plastic so the county's sorting facility can divert them, keep landscaping wood and stone out of the yard waste pile because the city refuses them there, and keep paint and chemicals on the county's household chemical route.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's lists, so the machine has to be confirmed with the Solid Waste Division.
City cost & eligibility
No city or county list names an exercise machine, so call the Solid Waste Division at 239-321-8050 and confirm whether the machine counts toward the weekly four cubic yard bulky allowance, and mention its size and whether the crew can handle it.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division before setting the machine out, and use the weekly bulky collection only once it is confirmed.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine inside the four cubic yard limit.
The weekly round takes four cubic yards of large household items, ten cubic yards of yard waste and a separate white good pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly bulky item pickup of up to four cubic yards, the weekly yard waste pickup of up to ten cubic yards and the weekly white good removal are all part of the mandatory residential solid waste service billed through the city utility account. Piles above the yard waste limit require an additional fee, and extra trash capacity or an extra one-time pickup is available on request.
When & how
Put everything out the night before or by 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, and keep the piles separated because the city asks for junk, brush and white goods to be handled separately.
Get it ready
Keep the bulky pile to four cubic yards and the yard waste pile to ten cubic yards, cut limbs to four feet long and four inches in diameter except palm fronds, bag small yard material in recyclable paper bags, keep stones and landscaping wood out of the yard pile, and do not put anything out more than 24 hours in advance.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste
Accepted with preparation
Household chemicals, paint, propane tanks and rechargeable batteries go free to Lee County's Topaz Court facility.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility takes household chemicals and rechargeable batteries, especially lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium, free from county residents through a drive-through, including latex paint, aerosol cans, pesticides, pool and spa chemicals and propane tanks, and leftover frying oil. Business chemical waste is handled separately at a monthly event for a fee. No batteries may go in the recycling cart.
When & how
Take the material to 6441 Topaz Court, Fort Myers, open 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of the month, noting that the facility shuts temporarily during thunderstorms and accepts items only during regular hours.
Get it ready
Keep products in their containers, remember that garbage and debris generated outside Lee County is not accepted at county facilities, and take rechargeable batteries to the facility rather than the recycling cart.
The weekly piles go out the night before and stay separated
Everything goes out the night before or no later than 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, and the piles stay separated: up to four cubic yards of bulky large household items, up to ten cubic yards of yard waste and a separate white good pile, because the city asks for junk and brush to be kept apart. Limbs have to be cut to four feet long and four inches in diameter except palm fronds, small yard material goes in recyclable paper bags, and nothing goes out more than 24 hours before the collection day.
Chemicals, electronics and rechargeable batteries go to the county
The city does not collect household chemicals or electronics. Lee County's Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility at 6441 Topaz Court takes chemicals, paint, propane tanks, rechargeable batteries, computers, printers, scanners, televisions and monitors free from county residents through a drive-through, and it also hosts a reuse center that offers latex paint and household chemicals back to residents at no charge. No batteries belong in the recycling cart.
The city's bulky, yard waste and white good piles are for household material, and the yard waste rules refuse landscaping wood and stone. Lee County's Recycling Ordinance 07-25 requires contractors and homeowners to divert construction and demolition debris, and the county's own facility sorts wood, concrete, metal and plastic for recycling, with private recyclers also available.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Take construction material to the county's debris facility
A contractor or homeowner with wood, concrete, metal, plastic or mixed construction and demolition debris.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Deliver the load to the county's Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Facility, or to one of the private C&D recyclers the county lists, and check the facility's page for hours and site rules.
Ordinance 07-25 requires contractors and homeowners to divert the material, garbage from outside Lee County is not accepted, and paint, chemicals and liquids belong on the household chemical route instead.
A household or contractor with a load the city and county routes refuse, such as an exercise machine or a mixed project pile.

Arrange it
Contact a private hauler or container company serving Lee County and confirm the receiving site before the load leaves.
Chemicals, paint, batteries and electronics still have their own county route and have to be separated before a hauler takes the rest.
