Lee County residential service includes pickup of bulky waste, white goods (large appliances), and electronic waste. Some bulky items go out with regular garbage collection; larger or special items (white goods, e-waste) are picked up by special arrangement with the hauler.
The Lee County mandatory solid-waste ordinance (11-27) provides that residential '1-1-1' service includes pick-up of bulky waste with garbage collection and 'Special pick-up of other bulky waste, white goods, and e-waste to be arranged.' 'Bulky Waste' is solid waste that requires additional management, and 'White Goods' means large household appliances (refrigerators, washers, etc.), including refrigerant-containing units handled separately. Limited automobile tires are also picked up with garbage collection. Residents schedule special bulk/white-goods/e-waste pickups through their franchised hauler; the county also operates disposal facilities and a materials recovery facility for larger loads.
Illegally dumping bulky items instead of using collection is a code/litter violation (see illegal dumping); improper accumulation on the property can be abated by the county at the owner's cost.
