Electronic/Hazardous Household Waste Collection

Residents in single-family homes and buildings with five or fewer units can schedule at-home collections of materials such as garden chemicals, automotive fluids, paint products and household cleaners as well as electronic items like televisions, computers, fax machines, printers and cell phones.

The program requires residents to schedule pickups online at www.lrsrecycles.com/oakpark. 

Resources for residents of large multifamily buildings

Residents of large multifamily buildings (with six or more units) are not served under the municipal refuse hauling program and therefore are not eligible for this service. In these cases, residents are encouraged to contact their building’s refuse service provider about recycling options. See below for additional options:
