Loading...
Summary
Lake Forest City says single‑family households can schedule three free curbside bulky-item pickups per year, bring multiple items to a May 30 bulky-item drop-off, and use a June 27 drive-through household hazardous waste collection; residents should contact CR and R to schedule.
Rosalie, a Public Works staff member, said Lake Forest residents who live in single‑family homes can schedule free curbside bulky‑item pickups for large items such as couches, mattresses and appliances. “Each household gets 3 free pickups per year,” she said.
The presenter on the Mayor’s Minute noted the city will hold its annual bulky‑item drop‑off event on May 30, allowing residents to bring multiple large items in a single trip. The presenter also announced a city household hazardous waste collection on June 27, describing it as a “simple drive through and drop off.”
Rosalie warned that certain materials should not be placed in regular trash bins because they are household hazardous waste, citing “paint, batteries, and electronics” as examples that require special handling. She and the presenter said single‑family households may schedule home pickups for hazardous items as well; the presenter said residents can schedule two free home hazardous‑waste pickups per year.
To arrange any special pickup services, Rosalie directed residents to contact CR and R customer service. The presenter encouraged residents to visit the city’s website for full details and schedules, and thanked the Public Works team for their work maintaining local waste and recycling services.
The segment closed with a brief local business mention and a sign‑off; the city’s drop‑off and collection dates were presented as the next concrete opportunities for disposal.
