Letter To Lakeland Disposal Customers Affected by New Truck

Lakeland Disposal & Recycling is excited to announce that we will be providing Automated Residential Curbside Trash & Recycling service in select areas.  We have a new truck that has a hydraulic arm that allows the driver to remain inside the vehicle at all times, creating driver safety and work efficiency. This new truck will help to keep the cost of service down and will allow us to pass the savings on to our customers in the future.

With this new automated service, Lakeland Disposal & Recycling will be providing recycle carts with yellow lids at no additional charge.  We ask that you keep all recycling loose and place only recycling in the cart with the yellow lid. We will no longer require clear or color tinted bags for recycling.  All cardboard will need to be unbound and placed inside the recycle cart.  If you have an excess amount of cardboard, please call or text us at (715) 358-8500.  Someone will be able to schedule a special pick up for you.  Additional fees will apply.

It will be important to always keep 3 feet of space between carts and other objects and to have the cart opening facing the street. Also, all items must be inside the the container with the lid closed.  Nothing outside of the containers will be picked up without prior approval. If you frequently have more trash and/or recycling than what fits in your container(s), please call or text the office at (715) 358-8500.  Someone will be happy to provide pricing information for additional containers.

Lakeland Disposal & Recycling thanks you for your business and we hope that this transition will be smooth for all.

Sincerely,

Chad Metzger & The Lakeland Disposal Team

Having Trouble with Animals?

Lakeland Disposal is now offering gravity locks. A button needs to be pushed to open the cart, otherwise, the lid won't open until the cart is at a 110 degree angle. Carts with gravity locks are an extra $3/month. If you would like one, please Call or text the office at (715) 358-8500.
More information coming soon.
