Toledo runs its trash and recycling through a contract with Republic Services, with curbside recycling picked up every other week from blue bins. The city also owns and operates the Hoffman Road Landfill on Hoffman Rd, and in mid-2026 opened a new self-service Clean Toledo Recycling Center on Creekside Ave as a year-round alternative to seasonal drop-off events. Ohio has no bottle deposit law, so cans and bottles carry no redemption value here, they just go in the recycling bin or get sold as scrap.
Toledo's blue bin program, run by Republic Services and picked up every other week, takes paper (newspaper, junk mail, office paper, magazines, catalogs), corrugated cardboard and cereal boxes, aluminum and steel cans, foil, and plastic and glass bottles and jars for food and beverages. Everything should be emptied, rinsed, and loose in the bin, no plastic bags or tied bundles. The city and Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful ask that recyclables stay free of food residue since contaminated loads can get an entire batch rejected.
Yes. Clear, green, and brown glass bottles and jars are accepted in the blue curbside bin alongside cans and plastic bottles, according to Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful's recycling guidance. Broken glass, window glass, mirrors, and drinking glasses or ceramics are not part of the curbside program and should not go in the bin.
Lucas County's Solid Waste Management District runs a household hazardous waste and electronics program by appointment only, reachable at 419-213-2230. The new Clean Toledo Recycling Center at 3900 Creekside Ave takes electronics and scrap metal as part of its regular self-service hours, but it does not accept household hazardous waste or tires. Those materials instead go through a handful of scheduled collection events held at sites like the Toledo Road & Bridge Maintenance Building and Ravine Park II.
As of January 5, 2026, Toledo residents can set out up to 5 bulk items at the curb every week with their regular trash pickup, no appointment needed, replacing the old monthly scheduled bulk service through Republic Services. Each item or bundle must weigh under 40 pounds, loose debris has to be bagged, and branches, wood, or rugs need to be tied into a bundle no bigger than 3 by 4 feet. Tires, hazardous materials, major car parts, and construction debris are not picked up curbside this way.
Hoffman Road Landfill, at 3962 Hoffman Rd in Toledo, is the city-owned disposal site where residents can pay to drop off bulky waste like furniture, carpeting, mattresses, wood waste, and scrap metal, plus tires for a per-tire fee. It does not take yard waste, chemicals, paint, oil, Freon-containing appliances, batteries, or TVs and monitors. The city also holds a handful of free disposal days each year at Hoffman Road for Toledo and Lucas County residents who bring a truck or trailer load, cash only, with proof of residency required.
