Waste Diversion Program Available for Residents
Jan 9, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Brigitte Kantor, Lee County Solid Waste Department FORT MYERS, Fla. ( January 9, 2008) – Residents of Lee County may now dispose of used cooking oil indefinitely at Lee County's Topaz facility operated by the Solid Waste Division. Recycling used cooking oil during the holiday season was such a hit with Lee County residents that it prompted the Solid Waste Division to make this service now available indefinitely. Over 800 gallons of cooking oil were collected and diverted from the regular waste stream between December of 2007 and now. Residents who want to dispose of used cooking oil for recycling can bring it to the Lee County Solid Waste Division at 6421-6441 Topaz Court during business hours. The Topaz facility of the Solid Waste Division is located off Metro Parkway south of Crystal and operated Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. Call the Solid Waste Division at 338-3302 if you have questions regarding this program.
