O'Fallon Offers Residents Free Large Item Drop Off

O’Fallon residents are invited to take advantage of the city’s free quarterly drop-off service for many items that are too large to fit into curbside trash containers. Acceptable items can be brought to O’Fallon’s waste transfer station from 7 a.m.–3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18. 

The transfer station address is 1572 Progress West Lane, O’Fallon, Missouri 63366.

Acceptable items for drop-off include: 

• Furniture, carpets, swing sets, bikes, toddler pools, sports and exercise equipment, large hand tools, barbecue grills, fluorescent tubes, computer monitors and televisions. 
• Lawn mowers, except riding mowers, but gas and oil tanks must be empty.

Unacceptable items include:

• Yard waste, appliances, tires, auto parts, batteries, gas, oil, transmission fluid.
• Liquid household hazardous waste: paint, solvents, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and their containers.

Drop-offs are limited to one load per household. Only cars, pickup trucks, and small trailers measuring no more than 10 feet long will be allowed.

To take part in the drop-off, O’Fallon residents must be current on their trash bill, and display a current photo ID with their O’Fallon address. Residents also must unload their own items.

Residents also can choose to have 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. Up-to-date information about O’Fallon’s refuse collection is available online.
