Keep Sanibel’s Sewer System Fit for Life
All Sanibel residents and property owners are reminded that improper disposal of wastes and oil based products can add pollutants to the environment. Anything you put in the sewer system stays with us.
Sanibel is and shall remain a barrier island sanctuary, one in which a diverse population lives in harmony with the island ’ s wildlife and natural habitats. By removal of harmful items in our sewer system, we can further protect our water quality and overall ecosystem for future generations.
Toilets are NOT a trash can: Even if a product is disposable or biodegradable, it does not mean the prod- uct was designed to be flushed down the toilet and into the sewer system.
Do NOT flush the following items: • Pharmaceutical products • Hazardous chemicals • Grease • Rubber or latex items • Baby wipes and diapers • Disposable toilet brushes or wipes • Cigarettes • Gum • Feminine hygiene products • Hair • Any plastic items • Bandages • Towels • Cotton swabs • Candy and food wrappers • Syringes • Clothing • Clothing labels • Cleaning sponges • Toys • Cat litter and aquarium gravel • Any item that could potentially clog the sewer system
Disposing Pharmaceuticals:
Flushing medication down the toilet or into the trash is harmful to environment. The Sanibel Police De- partment has a medicine drop box located at 800 Dunlop Road to safely dispose of prescriptions or over - the - counter medicine that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
(over)
Keep Sanibel’s Sewer System Fit for Life
Disposal of Cooking Wastes:
Cooking oil and grease are wastes that can NOT be discarded down the sink.
When these wastes are dumped down the drain, the grease and oils can clog sewer lines, causing sewage backups and flooding. Sewage back - ups can damage personal property, public property, and the surrounding environment.
DO NOT dump cooking oil, grease or poul- try fat down the sink or toilet
DO use paper towels to wipe residual grease or oils off dishes, pots and pans be- fore washing them.
.
DO NOT use hot water and soap to wash grease down the sink. Once this cools, it will harden in your pipes in the sewer.
DO place cooled cooking oil, grease and poultry fat into a sealed container and dis- card into the garbage.
For additional information please contact the City of Sanibel Community Services Department by e - mail at sanpw@mysanibel.com or contact by phone at the Public Works Branch (239) 472 - 6397 or Utilities Branch (239) 472 - 1008.

SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS PROGRAM Lee County Public Safety The information on the following two pages will help you make the best possible decision for your safety and well-being in the event of an impending hurricane. Our Special Medical Needs Program offers transportation and shelters for residents that do not have a safe place to be during the storm, or do not have a way to get to the shelter. If possible, arrange to evacuate with family, friends, or at a motel out of harm’s way for your “Plan A”. A shelter should be your ‘Plan B”. Making specific preparations now for where you will go if a hurricane is heading this way will take the worry and stress off both you and your loved ones. Pack items to take with you well in advance so you will be ready to leave as soon as evacuation orders are issued. Emergency Public Shelters are usually located in buildings with large open areas, such as schools, and are a good fit for anyone who is self-sufficient and needs no outside assistance in performing activities of daily living. You will be provided floor space only, so you must bring everything you need to shelter, such as bedroll, lawn chair, pillow, blanket, clothes, etc. Food and water will be provided but it would be wise to bring some of your own, as well. Shelters will be crowded, and with a large storm, may fill up quickly. Special Medical Needs Shelters are located in schools, as well, and are for individuals whose medical issues cannot be managed in a public shelter. Electricity is provided for medical equipment. You need to have a companion/caregiver accompany and assist you during sheltering. We will provide oxygen at the shelter. You must bring your medical equipment, medicines, personal items, money, etc. Your companion/caregiver must bring the same things, plus something to sleep on, such as a cot or lawn chair. We plan to have cots for those registered, but in a catastrophic storm our supplies will run out, so bring the things you cannot do without. Your pet may shelter with you. You must bring crate/carrier, leash & collar, food, clean- up supplies, vaccination record, and any other comfort items for pets. Shelter spaces in Hospitals are assigned to people whose health issues are unmanageable in a Special Medical Needs Shelter. Sheltering will be in hallways, meeting rooms, or other large congregate spaces, and no medical attention will be provided. You MUST have a companion/caregiver shelter with you the entire time. A letter from your physician must accompany the application. A bed will be provided, and oxygen, if required. You must bring your medical equipment, medicines, personal items, money, etc. Your caregiver will need to bring the same items, plus something to sleep on. You may NOT bring your pets to shelter at the hospital. Transportation to shelters can be pre-arranged by completing this application. LeeTran provides transportation to the shelters and Lee County EMS to the hospitals for those requiring stretchers. If you do not pre-arrange shelter transportation and realize you have no way to get to the shelter, you can go to any of the LeeTran bus stops and get a free ride to the shelters.

Sanibel Police Install Prescription Medication Drop-off Box
Sanibel Police Install Prescription Medication Drop-off Box Service available 24 hours a Day, 365 days a Year
As a community service the Sanibel Police Department has installed a prescription drop-off box in the Police Department lobby. Unused portions of prescription medications should be disposed of properly to avoid harm to persons and our environment. Old or expired prescriptions can simply be deposited in this box and the Department will see that they are disposed of properly. No Police report or interaction with an officer is necessary when using the drop-box.
There are two primary reasons to dispose of residual prescription medications:
1. Keeping medicines after no longer needed creates an unnecessary health risk in the home, especially when children and grandchildren are present. Some prescription medicines contain controlled substances and are especially harmful if taken accidentally by someone other than the patient. Residuals of these prescriptions should be properly disposed of so not to be accidentally ingested by a child, pet, or others.
2. To reduce overall medicine levels in our waters the FDA recommends patients dispose of their residual medications in these type of drop-off boxes instead of flushing down the sink or toilet.
It is an extremely important responsibility to properly dispose of unused and expired prescription substances. Improper disposal can lead to chemical substances entering the environment and waterways, eventually reentering the food chain through filter-feeding organisms. Mollusks and crustaceans are especially prone to accumulating chemical substances. A study performed by scientists from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife found that significant traces of antibiotics, antidepressants, chemotherapy drugs, heart medications and oxycodone are accumulating in the shellfish inhabiting Puget Sound. This finding demonstrates the importance of properly disposing unused prescription drugs.
The Sanibel Police Department is located at Sanibel City Hall, 800 Dunlop Road and is open 24 hours a day 365 days year. The Sanibel Police Department can be reached calling 239-472-3111. In cases of Emergency call 911.
Guidance on Restoring Your Sanibel Home Post-Hurricane Ian
As the Sanibel Community recovers and rebuilds following Hurricane Ian, many citizens are anxious to return to the Island and restore their home to its former beauty. In some cases, structures will be demolished and properties redeveloped. City staff knows Sanibel’s Land Development Code is complex and is necessary to maintain the island sanctuary characteristics that makes Sanibel so unique. The City of Sanibel staff is committed to helping residents and businesses be successful in completing repairs, renovations, and redevelopment. The Natural Resources, Public Works, Planning, and Building Departments have compiled important information regarding the Land Development Code to help residents undertaking renovation, restoration, and redevelopment projects. Following the guidance will help to ensure properties remain compliant with the City’s Vision Statement, Sanibel Plan, and Land Development Code and help the community recover as we all work to restore this Sanctuary Island. The City of Sanibel staff will host a community workshop to present information and answer citizen questions on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at BIG Arts. Please watch for future news releases that will provide more information on this workshop.

Part I – Guidance from the Natural Resources Department Vegetation Permits - Do I need a permit to remove or plant vegetation? • Some activities that would typically require a vegetation permit have been exempted through Mayoral Proclamation and can be viewed by following this link. • Activities such as mangrove trimming and removal, vegetation trimming and removal gulfward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, removal of live native vegetation (plants unaffected by the hurricane or those that can be restored or preserved), vegetation work on vacant lots, and other activities described in Sanibel Code Sections 122-141 through 122-150 (Vegetation Permits), that are not otherwise addressed in Mayoral Proclamations REQUIRE a permit . Landscaping – Are there requirements for the type of plants I use? • Generally, landscaping requires the use of 75% native vegetation within each category of native plants (trees, shrubs, and groundcovers), with the remainder being additional native plants or non- competing exotic plants. A good RULE OF THUMB: for every non-competing exotic plant installed, it should be offset with three native plants to prevent non-compliance. It is strongly recommended
