A Llano County residential bulk waste collection is from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Llano County Annex, 8347 RR 1431 in Buchanan Dam. Llano County residents, Kingsland Municipal Utilities District members, and Kingsland Water Supply Corp. customers can participate.
Accepted items for disposal include:
electronics
rimless tires
used motor oil
lead-acid and rechargeable batteries
latex paint
TVs
certain large items such as mattresses, refrigerators, stoves, and couches
Items that will not be accepted are:
chemicals
products with dangerous warning labels
petroleum-based paints and varnishes
explosives and ammunition
medical items
construction debris
compressed gas containers
household trash
All items should be in their original containers and properly sealed.
You can drop off items for free, but the collection is funded through donations, which will be accepted on site.
“It’s hard to set up a facility that is funded year-round,” said Christy Vaught, administrator of Llano County Development Services. “If we can help get rid of (bulk waste), at least a few times a year, we’re making a big impact.”
Llano County Road and Bridge Commissioner Richard Wootan and his crews end up hauling away large items dumped on county roads. The Texas Department of Transportation inevitably cleans up state highways.
“(Roadside dumping) is a problem, it’s an eyesore, it can be a health problem,” Wootan said. “It’s a slap in the face to the people who have to go pick it up.”
The Oct. 8 waste collection is first come, first served and goes until noon or when space runs out.
