40% of litter comes from uncovered pickup trucks and trailers.To help keep Lake County roads safe and beautiful, all loads must be tarped or otherwise secured.

A surcharge for unsecured loads will be added to gate fees as follows:

• $10 for pickup trucks and passenger vehicles with trailers.
• $100 for commercial vehicles.

Non-Recycling Surcharge

Gate fees may be doubled on loads containing 25% or more of recyclable materials with a $15 minimum charge.
