Lake County Transfer And Recycling Facility

Small county recycling center serving Lakeport and the surrounding communities at 230 Soda Bay Rd. Locals bring household recyclables, bulky items, and the odd appliance here rather than driving to a landfill. It’s the sort of place people stop at when cleaning out a garage or clearing yard debris.

Drive past a simple entrance booth and pull into a paved area with open-top bins and sorting stations; the scale is visible near the booth so vehicles slow down there. Containers for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals are common, and there are usually spots for electronics, batteries and bulky items in a separate area. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be ready for a short wait and have items loosely sorted before getting out of the car. The site feels industrial - concrete pads, metal bins, and clear traffic lanes - so wear shoes that can handle dust and gravel.
