THE LANDSCAPE RECYCLING CENTER ADJUSTS FEES

THE LANDSCAPE RECYCLING CENTER ADJUSTS FEES

The Landscape Recycling Center has been able to maintain its basic fee structure for the last seven years with high volume product sales. Unfortunately, disposal volumes and processing costs are increasing beyond our present fee structure and a fee adjustment is necessary. As a result, the Landscape Recycling Center is adjusting disposal fees starting February 1, 2021. 

A revised Rules and Regulations and a summarized price sheet can be seen here. 

COVID-19 restrictions shall remain in place, including limiting hours of operation to 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday, to allow LRC staff ample time for sanitizing maintenance. These hours may be adjusted as circumstances allow. Payment methods will also remain as credit card or charge account transactions only until further notice.
