The Lee County Solid Waste Resource Recovery Facility is operated by Reworld Lee, Inc. as a public-private partnership with Lee County, Florida. It is located in Fort Myers, Florida and began commercial operation in December 1994 to serve the needs of both Lee and Hendry counties. Today the facility processes 1,836 tons per day of solid waste while generating up to 57.3 megawatts of clean, renewable energy with approximately 50 megawatts sold to Seminole Electric Cooperative thru 2016. Reworld Lee uses reclaimed water from a city-owned waste water treatment plant for all of its process water and it is equipped with both ferrous (steel) and non-ferrous (brass, copper, aluminum) recovery systems to remove metals from the ash residue.

What information should I have ready before asking for service?
It is helpful to know what kind of waste you have, about how much there is, and where the service is needed. If the job has a timeline, access issue, or special handling concern, that is good to mention too.
