Reducing Blight
Removing blight in our community helps stabilize property values and eliminate crime, sustaining the viability of our neighborhoods. Our proactive approach to property maintenance means you'll see Urban Beautification workers out in neighborhoods, at community events, and working at neighborhood clean-up events. Crews respond to reports of blight concerns, including debris, trash, or illegal dumping on public or abandoned properties.

Recycling Events
Help us keep your neighborhood clean! Clean Toledo recycling events allow residents to drop off hard-to-get-away household items like paint and stains, old TVs, and yard waste. Tires are also accepted for a small fee.
More InfoNeighborhood Cleanups
Toledo's blight team will pick up bulky trash like mattresses, TVs, and yard waste at the curb for free. Residents can search the map for their address and see if their home falls in one of these areas. These events are not equipped to take household hazardous waste.
