• Trash, Recycle, and Horticultural Waste Pickup
   

• Trash and recycle pickup is weekly, normally on Thursday mornings.  To maintain our streets in an uncluttered condition for as long as possible, please do not place your trash and recycle containers at the curb before 4:00 pm on Wednesday and bring them in and out of sight as quickly as possible after pickup on Thursday.

​

• In order to make it possible for the recycling truck’s automated system to pick up your blue recycling container, please place the container at the curb with the wheels and handle facing your house (there is a directional arrow on the lid indicating direction to face the bin).  In addition, please leave a minimum of three feet between the recycling  container and any other containers and/or material that you put out for regular trash

       and recycle collection.

​

• Lee County requires that both trash and recycling containers have lids.  This rule is to prevent overnight rummaging by animals.  For the same reason, if you have any plastic bags that, for some reason, do not fit into your waste container, please do not place them curbside until the morning of pickup.

​

• Bulk items (such as refrigerators, ovens, and hot water heaters, electronics, television sets, and computer equipment) are only picked up on an “on-call” basis.  To request a pickup, please call Advanced Disposal at (239) 334-1224.

​

• Horticulture waste pickup is weekly, normally on Thursday mornings.  As is the case with trash and recycling containers, landscape trimmings/cuttings should not be placed at the curb before 4:00 pm on the day before pickup.  If not placed in a container or bag, cuttings and plant material waste must be tied in bundles that do not exceed 4 feet in length.

 

• Information regarding Lee County Watering Rules is available on our Unit One website by selecting “Notices & Announcements” and then “Municipal & State Information”.
   

• The Spanish Wells Community Association (SWCA) is the Master Association for the entire Spanish Wells community.  Their office is located in the lower level of the G&CC.  Their address is 9821 Treasure Cay Lane, Bonita Springs, FL 34135 and their telephone number is (239) 319-1288.
   

• The Spanish Wells Community Association is responsible for providing the vehicle bar code stickers which are necessary to gain automatic access through all entrance gates.  You must go to the SWCA office to apply for the barcode sticker and will be charged a $25.00 fee for each bar code sticker purchase. A $50.00 fee is charged to lease approved renters.
   

• All guests and vendors must be authorized by you in order to gain entry to the community. This can be accomplished by logging on to the “Spanish Wells Community Association Website” at “www.spanishwellscommunity.com".  Your personal “Dwelling Live Dashboard” screen will then appear.  Click on “My Community”, which appears in the upper left quadrant of the screen and then select “Guest List” from the drop-down menu.  The “Guest List” screen then appears and will provide you with the options to (1) Add Guest, (2) Add Party, (3) Restrict Guest, and (4) Guest History.  Select “Add Guest” and complete the required information on the screen that next appears.
   

• If you presently do lease or are considering leasing your property, you should review the complete, official leasing rules found on the Unit One Website by clicking on “Home"  and then selecting “Governing Documents”.   Scroll down to “Section 9.0 Leasing”.  The most important of these rules states the minimum lease term is thirty (30) continuous days.  No new lease may begin until at least thirty days have elapsed since the first day of the last lease.  No lease may exceed one year nor can it be automatically renewed or extended.  However, the Board of Directors may, at its discretion, approve the same lease from year to year.
