Verified from official government sources
Curbside trash service in unincorporated Lassen County is provided by the franchised hauler C&S Waste Solutions in designated areas (including Susanville, Doyle, Herlong, Janesville, Milford, Wendel, Westwood), with weekly garbage, recycling, and green-waste collection. Outside franchise areas, residents self-haul to LRSWMA landfills and transfer stations. The system is overseen by the Lassen Regional Solid Waste Management Authority.
We found no specific County ordinance dictating curbside cart placement, set-out times, or removal times for unincorporated Lassen County. Set-out practices are handled by the franchised hauler C&S Waste Solutions, whose carts are collected weekly on a scheduled day. Carts or refuse left out so as to create an unsightly nuisance could be reached under County Code Chapter 1.18.
Franchise subscribers in unincorporated Lassen County get up to two bulky items and up to five e-waste items collected curbside per year at no charge through C&S Waste Solutions. Self-haulers can take large items to LRSWMA landfills and transfer stations, where appliances like stoves, dishwashers, and dryers are free, mattresses cost $5-$6, and refrigerators/freezers with Freon cost $17 each.
Lassen County recycling follows California's mandatory commercial recycling laws. Under AB 341, businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of waste per week and multifamily complexes with 5+ units must recycle. Subscribers get a 95-gallon blue-lid single-stream cart from C&S Waste Solutions; self-haulers can drop recyclables free at Bass Hill Landfill if properly segregated.
California's SB 1383 mandatory organic-waste law normally requires residents and businesses to separate food scraps and yard waste. Lassen County, however, qualifies as a rural county (population under 70,000) and holds a CalRecycle-approved Rural Exemption (Counties) effective June 7, 2022, so the County is not required to provide organic-waste collection while the exemption is in place.
