Recycling Drop-Off

LCSWMA does NOT provide curbside collection of trash or recycling. This service is provided by private haulers who bring the material to LCSWMA once it’s collected. Contact your local municipal office for more information on trash collection or recycling services at your home or business.

For residents who do not have a curbside recycling service, LCSWMA offers free drop-off recycling at each of its facilities. Materials are limited to the Big 4 (see below), and all other materials must be discarded in regular trash.

Anyone caught illegally dumping will be prosecuted.

Only specific materials—the Big 4 — should be placed in your curbside recycling bin. You can also visit the City of Lancaster’s Drop-Off Recycling Center to deliver materials such as newsprint, office paper, magazines, paperboard, and more. For a list of locations that accept a variety of other recyclable materials, visit earth911.com. Lancaster County Residents can bring batteries and other hazardous materials to our Household Hazardous Waste Facility for free!

And remember, if you aren’t sure if it’s recyclable, it’s okay to throw it away. LCSWMA transforms waste into renewable energy.
