State looks to shut down mulch site
By CHUCK BALLARO - | Apr 14, 2021
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is asking a judge to shut down a North Fort Myers recycling facility officials say has been the site of a series of fires often visible from I-75 near the Bayshore Road exit.
Bayshore Fire & Rescue has responded to more than two dozen since the beginning of the year and fire officials say MW Horticulture, at 17160 East St., meanwhile, has been operating without a permit since the state denied them one last December.
Bayshore Fire Chief Larry Nisbet said fires have been pretty much continuous since the mulch material onsite has been heating up naturally and decomposing.
