You Bring It.
We’ll Handle It.

We provide safe, convenient drop-off services for municipal trash and recycling. LCSWMA does NOT provide curbside collection of trash or recycling. This service is provided by private haulers who bring the material to LCSWMA once it’s collected. Contact your local municipal office for more information about trash collection or recycling services for your home or business. 

From everyday household trash to hard-to-handle materials, LCSWMA provides safe, sustainable solutions for nearly every kind of waste.
