Scrap metal removal
in Lincoln.

Self haul in Lincoln means one address for almost everything, because the city's own collection is backed by the regional facility it shares with the rest of western Placer County. The Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln is open for disposal Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., every day of the year with limited hours on certain holidays, and it charges most households by the cubic yard after measuring the load at the public scale houses while weighing larger commercial loads, dumping trailers and dump trucks by the ton. General refuse and construction material are charged the same rate, green waste and wood waste cost less, appliances and tires have their own per item lines, and clean separated cardboard and mixed paper come in free. The household hazardous waste drop-off is free for Placer County residents every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a 15 gallon or 125 pound cap for each visit, and e-waste is free there too. The city adds two curbside conveniences that do not exist elsewhere in the county: a free electronic and universal waste pickup every Wednesday for items with a circuit board and a plug, arranged on (916) 434-2450, and a temporary 3-yard bin for residents with an active utility account.
