Rates ADOPTED FY 2027; checked November 1, 2026. Items not listed as accepted here: none. Call to confirm before you go.

⚠️The fee schedule (Exhibit P, Office of Solid Waste) prints "ADOPTED FY 2027" on each page but no calendar effective date and no resolution number. Lake County's fiscal year 2027 starts October 1, 2026 (inference).
⚠️The fee schedule labels these as Residential rates but does not say whether Lake County residency is required or what proof is needed. Call to confirm.
⚠️The schedule prints no per ton rate for loads of chargeable items over 660 lbs other than the per ton rates for C&D, concrete and tires, and no rate between 41 and 59 lbs. Call to confirm how a mixed residential load is weighed and billed.
⚠️We do not know whether household garbage is landfilled on site or shipped elsewhere. A 2020 County bid calls the site the "Central Landfill Facility"; the FDEP 2025 survey lists no Class I fee for Lake (inference: Class I may not be landfilled here). Type set to landfill pending a call.
⚠️Commercial rates (yard waste $57.76 per ton, tires $150 to $270 per ton, VSQG hazardous waste on Wednesdays only) are in the same schedule but are not listed here.
⚠️Proof of Lake County residency is required at drop-off centers, per the county Drop-off Service page.
