SWALCO has developed guidelines for recycling in Lake County. These guidelines should serve as a difinitive source of information for Lake County residnets to assist in clarifying misleading and/or outdated recycling information. These guidelines were designed to be a simple one page, go-to recycling guide for the Lake County resident that:
- Provides a list of acceptable/recyclable items commonly found in the home or workplace.
- Address some of the more common and frequent questions related to recycling,
- Provide a list of some of the more common items that are not acceptable/recyclable.
Most Lake County municipalities' contract with a single company to provide recycling and waste collection services, however, some residents and businesses many contract for these services on their own. For more information about establishing service, adding or replacing collection containers and billing matter, contact your local service provider or city/village officials.
People who live in apartments, condominiums or town-homes should contact their property management or association to establish recycling services. For a list of Service Providers, Drop-off Centers and Buy-Back/Scrap Yards, please visit Waste Services and Facilities on SWALCO's home page.
