Curbside Trash Assistance Program

Recycling Services in Toledo
Republic Services also manages recycling pickup in Toledo, operating on a bi-weekly schedule. It’s crucial to remember that only specific materials are accepted for recycling, and these must be placed in your blue recycling container. Before placing items in your recycling bin, ensure they are clean and free of any food residue. This practice helps maintain the quality of recyclable materials and the efficiency of the recycling process.
Utilizing Bulk Pickup Services
For disposal of larger items, Republic Services provides Toledo residents with one complimentary bulk pickup service each month. It is essential to schedule this service in advance by calling Republic Services before placing any bulky items at the curb. Bulk items will be collected one business day after your regular trash collection day. For example, if your trash is collected on Wednesday, your bulk pickup day will be Thursday.
When preparing bulk waste for collection, remember that all loose waste must be bagged. Wood and branches should be bundled and tied, with bundles not exceeding 3 feet in length by 4 feet in width and weighing no more than 40 pounds each. Ensure nails and screws in wood are either removed or hammered down for safety. Bulk items must be placed at the curb in front of your residence; alley and side street pickups are not available.
To schedule your bulk pickup, please call Republic Services at 419-936-2511.
