Ditch The Junk At Dump Day Event In Lake Forest

LAKE FOREST, CA — Do you have bulky household items taking up space in your garage? On Saturday, Dec. 10 Caltrans and the City of Lake Forest will host a Dump Day event for residents to drop off household waste at no cost. Here's what to know.

Caltrans staff will be on-site at the event to collect household items that are too bulky for regular garbage bins, such as mattresses, furniture and toys.

Residents are not permitted to bring the following items to the Dump Day event:

• Hazardous materials (batteries, paints, oils, chemicals, pesticides, smoke detectors, fluorescent lights, etc).
• E-waste or universal waste (anything with a circuit board or battery).
• Concrete, dirt, rocks, brick, asphalt or sand.
• Treated wood.
• Tires.

Lake Forest residents can drop off their waste on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, or until intake capacity is reached, organizers said.

The Dump Day event will take place Dec. 10 at 1 Saddleback Pkwy, in Lake Forest.
