To consolidate recycling efforts, the City of O’Fallon is installing a blue, industrial-sized recycling container at the City’s waste transfer station, 1572 Progress West Lane in O’Fallon (63366) beginning May 1, 2013.

The container will be available to O’Fallon residents at no charge for depositing recyclable materials. It will replace containers that were formerly stationed in two locations, one in the west parking lot at T.R. Hughes Ballpark and the other at Monticello Plaza in the 3700 block of Highway K. The Monticello Plaza and T.R. Hughes locations are being eliminated due to the need for additional parking spots in these areas. Anyone leaving items at these locations after the dumpsters are removed will be in violation of City ordinances.

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, April 20, 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.
