Garbage is collected once or twice weekly depending on your area, with recycling and yard waste weekly. Find your days with the county's Resident Information Lookup or the Recycle Coach app. When a holiday falls on your day, collection delays one day.
Use the "Resident Information Lookup" on leegov.com (or the Recycle Coach app and collection-schedule maps) to find your garbage, recycling, and yard-waste days; the county is split into six collection areas. Place carts (96-gallon garbage, 64-gallon recycling and yard waste) at the curb by 6 a.m. When a holiday falls on a regular collection day, pickup is delayed one day. Bulk items such as furniture are collected weekly on your trash day. Report missed pickups at 239-533-8000.
No monetary penalty is specified; place your carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on your collection day so they are not missed.
