Special collections dates for electronics, scrap tires, TVs & CRT monitors, and household hazardous waste have been announced for 2020.
All collections will be held at the Lake County Fairgrounds located at 1301 Mentor Ave in Painesville Township. These collections are for Lake County residents ONLY. Items will not be accepted from commercial, business, or industrial customers.

The electronics collection will be held on April 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m and August 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Most corded and rechargeable household electronics, including computers and computer-related devices, will be accepted.

SCRAP TIRES
The scrap tire collection will be held on May 2 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Residents are able to bring six car or light-truck tires without rims free of charge. There are fees for the disposal of additional tires—$2 per tire without rims, $4 per tire with rims, and $10 per over-sized tire. Only cash or personal checks will be accepted.
TVs & CRTs
The television and CRT monitor collections will be held on May 9 and August 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Flat/LCD/Plasma TV or computer screens, any size, are free to residents. There are fees for tube televisions and CRT TV monitors based upon the screen size.

Only cash or personal checks will be accepted.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
The household hazardous waste collections will be held on June 6 and October 3 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to remove hazardous substances from their garages, sheds, basements, closets, bathrooms, and kitchen pantries, thereby reducing confusion, abuse and wrongful disposal of these unwanted substances down the drain or in the trash. All household hazardous waste collected during these events will be recycled or destroyed safely by neutralization or incineration. There are no fees associated with this collection.
Special collections are sponsored by the Lake County Department of Utilities, the Solid Waste District, the Board of County Commissioners, and the Lake County Ohio State University Extension. For questions or additional information call (440) 350-2908 or email David.Schick@LakeCountyOhio.gov.
