Subject: Curbside Garbage Pickup/Right-of-Way Clearing
 
Please be advised that Hendry County is in the process of improving all roads and clearing right-of-ways in the Pioneer Plantation area. This is being done in an effort to provide residential curbside garbage pickup and to recognize all platted roads by placing signs and clearing the easements, as well as providing a fire break. No new construction of roads and ditches will be implemented at this time.
 
Please remove all obstructions you may have in any of the public easements. Examples are fences, gates, sheds, etc. Those that are not removed by October 1, 2002, will be demolished by County forces. Attached is a map with all platted roads.
 
The anticipated date for curbside pickup to begin is October 1, 2002. The annual fee will be $183.00 verses the convenience dumpster rate of $120.00. All dumpsters will be removed, when curbside pickup is implemented.
 
Pickup days are Mondays and Thursdays. No pickup on New Years, Thanksgiving and Christmas days. Furniture and/or white goods are on an on call basis and at no additional cost. Construction debris is a special on call pickup, with an additional charge. (Florida Recycling 675-2481) Residential tires may be placed along side regular garbage. Yard trash/trimmings are to be placed along side regular garbage. Tree trimmings are to be tied and bundled and are not to exceed 4" in diameter and 4' in length, leaves are to be bagged.
 
Construction debris, loose garbage, automotive or boat parts, hazardous waste or commercial waste will not be picked up.
 
It has been requested by some of the residents that they be permitted to place their garbage cans at the end of their particular road, where it intersects with a county road or main thoroughfare. This would eliminate the need for the garbage trucks to travel your road, thus causing less wear and tear and large truck traffic in a residential area. If this is your preference, place your can at the preferred intersection and it will be picked up. Any road with no garbage out will not be traveled. If your road is inaccessible to the garbage truck, place your garbage at the nearest accessible curbside.
 
Remember: All garbage must be placed in a manner so as not to cause a litter problem, i.e.; cans with lids, instead of bags, preventing animals from scattering. Cans, bundles and bags are not to exceed 35 gallons and/or 40 pounds in weight and must be placed within 6' of the curbside. Cans must have handles and tight fitting lids. No drums or barrels.
If you have questions or problems, please feel free to contact me at 675-5252 or 983-1582.
