Press release:

The City of Lake Worth would like to remind all residents that no change has been made to the refuse schedule for this week, no amnesty is in place. It is of utmost importance that residents do not put out items on the wrong day or put out too much yard waste on their yard waste day. Fines will be assessed for debris out on wrong day and over the 4 cubic yards (allowed amount per house).
     The City’s preparations for Irma are extensive and failure to follow the correct refuse schedule endangers staff and other residents. It is also advised that all yard work is limited to what is necessary, refrain from cutting down whole trees or doing major yard or construction projects until after the storm passes.
     For the refuse schedule for Zones 1–4 use this link to download maps and more information.
     Any questions? Please call the Refuse Division at 561-533-7344, Public Services at 561-586-1720 or 561-586-1736.
     At this time the City of Lake Worth will continue to monitor and follow the guidance of Palm Beach County and residents are encouraged to do the same.
