The City of Lancaster and WM are proud to partner on the following programs to keep Lancaster a clean, green community to live, work and play:

Bulky Item Program

City of Lancaster residents are encouraged to take advantage of the Bulky Item Curbside Pick Up program. A Bulky Item is defined as any large item that cannot be accommodated by a cart and typically averages at least one hundred pounds. This program allows each resident to place up to four bulky items curbside for pickup, four times each year. That’s a total of sixteen bulky item pickups, or an estimated three quarters of a ton of free disposal capacity, available to each resident every year. For program details, visit home.wm.com/lancaster.

Electronic Landfill Vouchers

The Electronic Landfill Voucher program provides each City of Lancaster residence with active WM service with two no-cost electronic landfill vouchers, added to each account every July. Each voucher allows residents the convenience of disposing of up to one ton of residential waste, green waste, construction and demolition waste, bulky items, e-waste, and/or white goods at the Lancaster Landfill and Recycling Center. For program and redemption details, visit home.wm.com/lancaster.

Electronic Waste Disposal

Lancaster residents have a variety of options available for the safe and proper disposal of E-Waste. Residents may conveniently and responsibly dispose of electronic waste at the Lancaster City Yard (615 W. Avenue H), the Lancaster Landfill and Recycling Center (600 E. Avenue F) or the Antelope Valley Environmental Collection Center (AVECC) in Palmdale at no additional cost. For details, visit home.wm.com/lancaster.
