⚠️This campus holds the county waste-to-energy plant, listed here as a transfer station because the intake has no waste-to-energy type. Household garbage is burned in the WTE facility. The campus also has a residents' drop-off area, C&D recycling, yard waste processing and a materials recycling facility.
⚠️The rates page is labeled FY 25-26 and says rates are reviewed annually and became effective on Oct. 1 of each year with the adoption of a Resolution. FY 26-27 began October 1, 2026, but no FY 26-27 rate page, PDF or resolution was found. The FY 25-26 rates may have changed (inference). Call to confirm.
⚠️The tire rows on the rates page sit under a heading that reads Rate Effective June 1, 2024 (Lee County Facilities) and RATE EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2024 (Hendry County Facilities). The MSW gate fee and shingle rows have no separate effective date.
⚠️Garbage and debris generated outside Lee County is not accepted at Lee County facilities.
⚠️Lee County residents in unincorporated service areas pay an annual solid waste assessment on the tax bill (FY 25-26 single family: $221.55 to $381.11 depending on service area, Outer Islands $23.85, before a 4% early payment discount). The county pages read do not tie any free drop-off allowance to it, and the Residents Guide says citizen drop-off is charged by weight.
⚠️Storm rules may override normal fees and hours after a hurricane. After Hurricane Milton (October 2024) the county opened temporary storm debris drop-off sites for unincorporated residents with ID and sent commercial storm debris to the Waste-to-Energy Facility, charged by weight. No current storm rules were printed on the pages read.
