Comprehensive Guide & Details
Residential Sanitation in Fort Myers
As part of the broader Fort Myers area, Lochmoor Waterway Estates utilizes city-contracted waste services for residential refuse. Our sanitation schedule includes two garbage collections and one recycling pickup weekly. Residents are provided with distinct carts for different waste streams. It is mandatory to position your bins at the curb edge no later than 6:00 a.m. on your specific collection morning. Please ensure there is at least three feet of space between each container to allow the automated truck arms to function without spilling waste or damaging your receptacles.
Single-Stream Recycling Policies
Our community follows a single-stream recycling mandate. You are encouraged to place all clean, dry fiber—such as cardboard, junk mail, and newspapers—alongside empty plastic bottles and metal cans into the blue-lidded bin. You do not need to separate these items. Crucially, please do not include glass in your curbside bin, as local ordinances currently require glass to be taken to specific drop-off locations to ensure proper safety and processing. Avoid using plastic garbage bags for recyclables, as they disrupt the mechanical sorting lines at the facility.
Handling Yard Trimmings and Bulk Junk
Maintenance of our waterfront properties often results in excess vegetation. Small yard debris must be neatly bundled into pieces no longer than four feet. Grass clippings and fallen leaves are to be placed in paper lawn bags or personal containers. If you are discarding heavy items like broken patio tables, old mattresses, or major appliances, please contact the city's sanitation partner at least 24 hours before your regular pickup day to schedule a bulky item haul. Leaving such items on the swale without a request is a violation of local property maintenance codes.
Holiday Service Modifications
The sanitation calendar remains consistent throughout the year, with the exception of major federal holidays like Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. During these specific days, all collection services are paused. Your pickup schedule will shift forward by one day for the remainder of that week. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday, your subsequent Friday pickup will occur on Saturday. We ask residents to bring their carts back to their storage location by sunset on service days to keep our neighborhood corridors accessible and visually appealing.
