Fort Myers, FL trash pickup by address.

The city prefers carts out the night before, and no later than 6:30 a.m. on the scheduled collection day.

Junk and brush have to be set out as separate piles — mixed piles aren't collected together.

The trash and recycling cart must be out no later than 6:30 a.m. on collection day, and the city would rather see it out the night before so it is not missed.

Place carts at least 5 feet away from any obstruction, and check the extra guidelines printed on the cart lid.

Collection can be skipped entirely if a cart is overweight, put out late, blocked by vehicles or overfilled.
