The City of Lakewood, Ohio's Refuse and Recycling Center, located at 12920 Berea Road, offers services such as once-per-week curbside collection for household refuse, bulk items, recyclables, and yard waste for properties with one through four household units. The facility is open on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with limited acceptance of construction debris meeting specific regulations.

The center also provides guidelines for disposing of items like hypodermic needles, sharps, unwanted medicine, and paint, emphasizing proper containment and disposal methods.
