About This Center

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 enforces rules and regulations for proper refuse placement to ensure collection efficiency and neighbor property protection. Residents are encouraged to participate in the city's Green Refuse and Recycling Initiative, which mandates recycling and automated refuse collection to save costs and conserve resources. Multi-unit properties with five or more units are responsible for refuse collection but can drop off recycling at the facility. The center also provides guidelines for disposing of items like hypodermic needles, sharps, unwanted medicine, and paint, emphasizing proper containment and disposal methods. Additionally, the facility offers a food scrap drop-off program and promotes community-supported composting. Visitors are advised on holiday collection schedules, set-out hours, and the importance of following recycling guidelines to aid city workers and reduce contamination.

Jimmy Gill (5/5 stars, 11 months ago): We’ve been using them for 7-8 years now. My wife likes to shop and I hate all the big boxes that sit around for a week! I’ve also used them for countless demos in our DIY projects. The main guy in the back in very helpful.

Jesse Carter (5/5 stars, 7 months ago): Lakewood taxes are crazy but you get what you pay for apparently- bulk trash pickup every week. Also very friendly in my experience

Kenneth Bohac

Kenneth Bohac (5/5 stars, a year ago): Always friendly helpful and well informed staff at lakewood Berea Rd. Transfer location. Neat and tidy. Well organized. Only shortcoming is what seems to be a less robust situation for collecting tree and yard waste.
