Lee County will be making a final pass of sand collection on Estero Boulevard beginning on November 18th. Residents are asked to place all remaining sand along the right of way to be removed.
The final day for residents to place sand out for collection is at 5 p.m. Nov. 17. With the county’s timeline, this gives residents two full weekends to prepare and push their sand to the right of way.
If you live in an area where sand is being collected, be sure to place sand correctly to ensure crews can expedite pickup:
– Place sand along the right-of-way.
– Do not place sand on top of the curb or in the roadway.
– Separate sand away from other debris piles.
After the final pass of sand collection is complete, the county will continue to clean debris from Estero Boulevard.
Commercial property owners of sites such as condominiums and trailer parks are reminded that Lee County is not responsible for collecting their storm debris. Per FEMA, those property owners are expected to work with their insurance providers to cover the cost of debris removal.
