Residential Services
We offer curbside garbage, recycling and green waste collection throughout all of our service areas in Lake County, CA. Residential customers are billed quarterly.
Garbage Collection
- Cart: Gray lid
- Sizes: 20, 32, 64 or 96 gallon carts
- Frequency: Weekly
- Material: Non-recyclable items accepted by the landfill
Carts need to be placed at curb or road edge at least 3 feet apart by 4:00 am on your collection day. Please position carts to open towards the street and keep them free of neighboring or overhead obstacles. All material must fit inside cart and lid must close. Over-filled or contaminated carts may not be picked up and/or may result in extra charges.
Residents can also purchase pre-paid bags for garbage and put these bags out on the appropriate collection day. These bags are ideal for vacation homes and people that do not generate enough garbage to require regular weekly service. Bags can be purchased at our office located at 230 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
