Labor Day Holiday Schedule
In observance of Labor Day on September 4, 2023, trash collection will be delayed by one day from the normal schedule. Residents are asked to check that materials are placed curbside by 6 a.m. to ensure all items are collected.
A Cleaner Toledo
We've partnered with Republic Services to facilitate much of the trash and recycling services for our residents. For questions and concerns about trash, recycling, or bulk pickup, please call Republic Services at 419-936-2511.
Trash Collection
Garbage collection is handled by Republic Services and is collected weekly. All trash should be bagged and placed inside your gray refuse container which can be set out on the curb the night before your scheduled pickup and should be promptly put away once collection is complete.
