Socialization can reduce anxiety and behavioral issues, making your pet more relaxed and friendly in various situations.
Microchipping Works! Microchipping your pet ensures they can always find their way back home if lost. A quick, fast and painless procedure provides peace of mind!

Did you know that Lancaster's city council has identified community pride and litter abatement as a strategic objective? It takes 2-5 years for a tossed cigarette butt to break down, and ONE MILLION YEARS for a plastic bottle to break down. If you see it, pick it up. There are many benefits to having a clean community. Higher property values, community pride, sense of ownership in our community, attraction of new businesses, and a more attractive environment.
Adopt-A-Spot Program Adopters will agree to a minimum of a 1-year agreement, renewable upon approval. Litter pick-up will be at a minimum of 1 time per month during the 1-year adoption period. One of the pick-ups must occur on the City of Lancaster's Annual TrashOff. The City of Lancaster will be responsible for supplying trash bags, pick up and disposal of trash bags after each group completes clean up in their adopted area.
Click here to download and fill out your application. The Adopt-a-Spot program is a joint effort between your City government and the residents to keep our rights-of-way and neighborhoods clean and beautiful.

REGULAR TRASH & RECYCLING COLLECTION Regular trash is picked up weekly in the City of Lancaster. The GRAY trash carts are designated for regular trash. The BLUE carts are for recycling. For residents with alleys, the trash and recycling carts are picked up in the rear of the home if not blocked by obstructions.
Trash and recycling are collected once a week. Lancaster is divided into five areas, and your pickup day depends on your location. Use the interactive map on the city's website (www.lancaster-tx.com) under the "Interactive Maps" button to find your collection day.
For Effective Retrieval: Place trash (gray) and recycle (blue) carts with handles facing the curb. Set carts out by 7:00 a.m. on your service day. Bag household trash and place it inside the 95-gallon trash cart. Ensure lids are fully closed for pickup. Keep carts 3 feet apart and 5 feet from obstacles, with a 16-foot clearance overhead.
