Recycling & Trash Pickup
Lebanon has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal and recycling.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. For a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Saturday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays. Check for holidays that may affect your service.

How to Prepare Your Materials
All trash should be bagged. Don't overfill your cart - the lid must close tightly. Overage bags can be purchased at the Lebanon IGA, Cowan Drugs, and the City of Lebanon Clerk Treasurer’s Office and will be picked up, on regular trash days, along with trash carts. Overflow materials not contained in the designated overage bags will not be collected.
What Belongs in Your Cart
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste.
