Beginning April 4, 2016, Republic Services will collect household batteries and used cooking oil from Lake Forest Park residents.

For single family residential customers only, place household batteries (alkaline, button cell, and rechargeable batteries) in a clear plastic bag (such as a ziplock) on top of the recycling container (not inside the recycling container).

Used cooking oil, free of large solid material, should be placed in a clean/clear, screw top, one gallon jug. The container must be labeled with your name and address and placed next to your recycle container. There is a limit of three oil containers per collection, with no more than 10 per year.
