In unincorporated Lake County, garbage and recycling are collected on the same day and yard trash on a different day, normally Monday through Friday. When a holiday falls on your collection day, service shifts back one day for the rest of that week.
Under Sec. 23-19 of the Residential Solid Waste Program, customers receive notice of their scheduled collection days; garbage and recycling are collected together, with yard trash on a separate day. Collection normally runs Monday through Friday. When a holiday lands on a scheduled collection day, pickup moves to the first day after the holiday and every remaining collection that week shifts back one day—so Friday customers get Saturday service. If the Director approves twice-per-week garbage pickup, scheduled days run Monday through Saturday. The county contracts haulers to provide the service.
Set-out and collection rules are enforced under Ch. 23 via Chapter 8 Code Enforcement; an uncontested first citation is a reduced $150 civil penalty ($300 repeat), with Special Master fines available for continuing violations.
