Free bulk waste drop-off for O'Fallon residents coming up

If you are an O’Fallon resident who is enrolled in the City’s trash and recycling service, you’re invited to use the City’s free, bi-monthly drop-off for many items that are too large to fit into curbside trash containers. The next drop-off date will be Saturday, August 17, from 7 a.m.–3 p.m. Acceptable items can be brought to O’Fallon’s waste transfer station, 1572 Progress West Lane, O’Fallon, MO 63366.

O’Fallon residents must have a current photo ID with their O’Fallon address. Only one load per household will be accepted per day, and only cars, pickup trucks, and small trailers no more than 10 feet long will be allowed. Residents also must unload their own items.

Mark your calendar for additional drop-off dates, which are always held on Saturdays from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.: October 19, and December 21.
