The Cities of Lancaster
and Palmdale, the County
of Los Angeles, and
Waste Management, Inc.,
have collaborated to
produce this guide of
environmental services
available to AV residents.
To use, simply locate the
service you want and
follow it to the jurisdiction
in which you live.
Quick, easy, and convenient,
this resident’s guide is a
handy reference on how
you can take advantage
of these services and
safely recycle or dispose
of some items that may
be laying around your
home.
