THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY - GARBAGE COLLECTION SCHEDULE CHANGE

FORT MYERS, Fla. (November 19, 2007) – Please be advised that all unincorporated areas of Lee County as well as the City of Bonita Springs, and the Town of Fort Myers Beach will have no garbage, recycling, and yard waste collection on the Thanksgiving holiday, November 22nd, 2007. 

The Thursday collection is moved to Friday; likewise, if Friday is your normal garbage collection day, then the pick up is on Saturday. 

This schedule is only in effect for November 22nd  through November 24th, 2007.  Regular scheduled collection will resume on Monday, November 26th, 2007.  

Please note that County offices are closed Thanksgiving Day and Friday the 23rdth of November, 2007.   

For the holidays we tend to cook more and often use disposable aluminum cooking and baking pans a.k.a. foil pans in the preparation of our dishes.  Please remember that these pans are recyclable and are a valuable resource for the production of new aluminum products. Aluminum pans and cans are practically 100 percent recyclable, and the aluminum does not degrade as it is recycled -- it can be reworked into infinity without losing quality. Make sure to please wash the dish in soapy water prior to placing it in the recycling container.  Thank you.
