Residents are asked to set their trash, recycling and yard waste to the curb by 5:30 a.m. beginning Thursday, May 1. This is one hour earlier than the typical set-out time of 6:30 a.m. The seasonal change is to help the contracted haulers’ drivers complete routes earlier in the day as summer’s heat arrives. This annual seasonal adjustment does not impact the day of the week residents have their materials collected; that remains the same. To learn more about what to set out at the curb and proper disposal methods, visit Lee County Solid Waste at www.leegov.com/solidwaste.
