What the county rules mean on your street

Trash goes out once a week with no limit on the amount, in 40-gallon cans of 50 pounds or less, by 5:30 a.m. and within 6 feet of the road. Bulky items such as furniture and household appliances are picked up as needed (call the hauler for an appliance). Yard waste goes in 50-pound bundles no longer than 6 feet, unbagged. The unincorporated Lee County guide has the full county detail.

Condos, gated communities and the season

Much of Bonita is condos and HOAs, where the property manager arranges collection for buildings of five or more units. Many residents are seasonal, so clear-outs tend to cluster around arrivals and departures, and gated communities need a Right of Entry form on file for storm debris collection.

When a private haul makes sense in Bonita Springs

Usually when the HOA won’t allow bulk to sit at the curb, when a condo cleanout needs an elevator and a vendor window, when a seasonal home has to be cleared before you head north, or when it’s a hot tub or remodel debris the curb won’t take.
