There is a short article on C3 in the Villages Daily Sun that announces a household waste drop-off on Thursday. I assume this is November 7, 2013. Does this include Sumter and Marion County residents of the Villages? I was wondering also if this includes small batteries like those for TV remotes and the like.

There is a number given for the Lake County Solid Waste Division of 343-3776.

If anyone has more information, like what time this drop-off happens, I would appreciate it. I will bet that this information would be valuable for other people as well.


Lady Lake Public Library is at 225 W. Guava near the corner of CR466 and US 441/27. It is on the same road as the Subway just off of US441/27. http://www.ladylakelibrary.com/

Thanks. I do not suppose they will be checking tax records for residency in Lake County while you drive through.

You may be asked to show your driver's license.

I called. Drop off is for Lake County residents only. The person I spoke with gave me this number to call in Lake Sumter, 352-569-1975. She said Lake Sumter drop off is December 7.

Thanks. Do they take small batteries? The last time I tried to drop off smaller batteries like those from radios, flashlights, clocks, TV remotes at the Wildwood drop-off near a high school they did not take these. They took large batteries like those from a car or golf cart but not the usually much more numerous smaller batteries. Not sure why this is as most of the time the mechanic takes away the dead car or gold cart battery and charges a small disposal fee.
