South Lake Refuse & Recycling offers many ways for residential customers to dispose of unwanted items that cannot go in the curbside carts/bins. If your items are still useful, we suggest that you try and find a reuse center that will take it as a donation before calling us to schedule a collection.
The Bulky Item Collection program is available to all South Lake Refuse & Recycling residential customers.
The following bulky items can be picked up for free as part of the Bulky Item Collection Program as outlined above.
The following appliances can be picked up for a $10.00 collection fee which will be added to your regular service collection bill.
Prohibited items are solid waste (trash), organic materials (food scraps or yard debris), concrete or dirt, hazardous waste, recyclable materials, automobiles, large auto parts, pianos, or trees.
If you are a residential customer, call us today and we will get you on our schedule to have your bulky items removed!
IT’S SHOCKING… How fast electronic products become obsolete! PLEASE do not put E-Waste in your garbage; they contain toxic materials not allowed in landfills. The good news is that you can drop these items off for free at the South Lake Recycling Center. Currently only 30% of ink cartridges are recycled. It’s estimated that over 375 million cartridges are thrown away each year!
We want to keep these items out of landfills and you can help out at no cost to you with the Free Mail-in Ink Recycling Service.
Just follow these steps:
Each year, the Lake County Public Services Department hosts a Tire Amnesty Program, which allows residents to drop-off tires at no charge, until all grant funds have been expended. Please call the recycling hotline at 707-262-1618 to confirm the program is still funded for the year.
Under the program, residents of Lake County may dispose of up to nine passenger or light truck tires, up to R19.5, free of charge. Tires will be accepted with and without rims. The Amnesty Program is not for commercial, heavy duty, farm, or heavy equipment tires.
Residents may take up to nine tires to either South Lake Recycling Center or to Lake County Waste Solutions. Customers will be asked to show proof of Lake County residency and sign a form showing number and origin of tires. No commercial tire, auto repair, or salvage businesses.
Safe disposal of home-generated used sharps is important: these items do not belong in your garbage or recycling. Sharps in puncture resistant containers with lids may be dropped off at the South Lake Refuse Recycling Center.
Safely dispose of sharps with postage-paid shipping containers (disposal costs included) for a $5 co-pay at the following pharmacies.
This program is sponsored by the Lake County Public Services Department and subject to change. Please call them to confirm locations or for more information: (707) 262-1760.
