WastePro Temporarily Suspends Recycling

Please take notice of the following information Lake County Public Works has provided regarding WastePro's recycling service (temporary) suspension:

Waste Pro is currently experiencing a severe staffing shortage.  They are diligently working to hire and train new staff as quickly as possible.

Garbage and yard waste should be picked up on the normal day this week.  Recycling is being suspended for 30 days. Residents can put the recycling in the trash cart or take it to one of our convenience centers.  The two closest locations to your subdivision are: 

Log House Convenience Center 
10435 Log House Rd. 
Clermont
Open: Wednesday and Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Central Facility
13130 County Landfill Rd.
Tavares
Open:  Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m.

Lake County is working with the hauler to resolve the issue as soon as possible.  The hauler is being held accountable and will be fined for every route they do not collect.
