Coming Soon: a New Way to Recycle

Help keep your neighborhood clean with a new self-service option for recycling and waste disposal.

Designed as a self-service facility, the center allows residents to unload their own materials for a faster, more efficient experience. City staff will be on-site to monitor materials, provide direction, ensure safety, and assist as needed.

Opens to the public Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Must show proof of Toledo residency.
