Fort Myers tear-off and storm distinction

Roofing debris removal planning in Fort Myers

For a Fort Myers roofing project, document squares, roof system, layer count, wet areas, deck replacement, and whether material is safely staged on the ground. Check asbestos duties for the property/project, Lee County diversion requirements for covered work, and whether any storm program is actually active before selecting a route.

01 / LOCAL CONTROL POINTS

Resolve these before routing the load.

01 / DECISION

Ordinary roof project or activated disaster route?

Lee County publishes event-specific separation and temporary recovery guidance. Verify current activation instead of assuming storm-damaged roofing is publicly collected.

03 / DECISION

Does the project need diversion records?

Covered Lee County projects may require qualifying diversion and certification; tickets and the receiving facility can matter to closeout.

03 / PROPERTY & ACCESS

The address does not describe the route.

Ground-only scope

Material on the roof, in a chute, or requiring fall-protected retrieval is not the same scope as a controlled ground pile.

Gated and coastal properties

Access windows, bridge/island travel, gate dimensions, association rules, landscaping, and roof-delivery conflicts require address-level review.

Wet-season staging

Keep roofing debris, granules, nails, plastic, and fines contained away from drainage, public ways, and occupied access.

ROUTING TOOL

Carry the local decisions into one result.

The Fort Myers routing tool combines jurisdiction, project/permit status, and material exceptions. It is decision support, not facility authorization or legal advice.
