Lassen County, CA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Lassen County residents have two routes for large and bulky items. Franchise subscribers served by C&S Waste Solutions may have up to two (2) bulky items and up to five (5) electronic-waste items collected curbside annually at no charge; the hauler also offers free curbside collection of unflocked Christmas trees during the first full week in January and accepts motor oil and filters at no extra cost. For everyone else, including self-haulers outside franchise areas, the Lassen Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (LRSWMA) accepts large items at Bass Hill Landfill and at transfer stations. Per the LRSWMA fee schedule: stoves, dishwashers, and dryers are accepted free; scrap metal is free if clean; used oil is free up to 5 gallons per trip; and batteries are recycled free at all stations. Items carrying a fee include refrigerators and freezers with Freon at $17 each, fluorescent tubes at $1.50 each (CFLs free), mattresses at $5-$6 depending on size (transfer stations only), and large furniture, which carries a $6 handling fee plus weight charges. The general minimum disposal charge is $5.00, covering the first 120 lbs at Bass Hill or up to two 33-gallon containers at transfer stations. Appliance and bulky-item acceptance is offered at Bass Hill, Bieber, Herlong, and Westwood. Illegally dumping bulky items instead of disposing of them properly can be abated as a public nuisance under County Code Chapter 1.18.
