O'Fallon Holds Bulky Trash Drop Off On Saturday

O’Fallon residents are encouraged to take advantage of the city's free large-item disposal service this Saturday at the city's waste transfer station at 1572 Progress West Ln. Items that are too large to fit into curbside trash containers can be brought to the city's waste transfer station.

To participate, O’Fallon residents must be current on their trash and recycling bill and display a current photo ID with their O’Fallon address. 

Drop-offs are limited to one load per address. Only cars, pickup trucks and small trailers (10 feet or less) will be admitted. Residents must unload their own items. Acceptable items for drop-off include:

• furniture
• carpets
• swing sets
• bikes
• toddler pools
• sports and exercise equipment
• large hand tools
• barbecue grills
• fluorescent bulbs
• computer monitors and televisions. 
• Lawn mowers - except riding mowers – are also accepted, but gas and oil tanks must be empty. 

Unacceptable items include:

• yard waste
•  appliances
• tires
• auto parts
• batteries
• paint
• gas
• oil
• transmission fluid
• solvents,
• pesticides
• fungicides
• herbicides and their containers. 
• Some of these items can be taken to St. Charles County's RecycleWorks. 

Residents also can choose to have many large items picked up at the curb year-round by calling Environmental Services at 636-272-0477, or contacting staff by email at ofallonrecycles@ofallon.mo.us. Cost of the service is $20 per truck hopper for curbside collection.
