Lenawee County Solid Waste in Adrian is the local spot for household trash, recycling, and yard debris for county residents. Situated on North Main Street, it’s used by homeowners, landscapers, and anyone hauling a pickup or trailer through town.
Drive in off Main and you’ll see a small entrance booth and a scale-bring patience, as vehicles often pause to be weighed. Drop-off areas are spread out over a fairly large lot with open piles and bins visible from the entrance; recycling containers are usually grouped to one side. Pull up to the attendant booth first, then follow attendants’ directions or the traffic flow to the correct drop area. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so expect lines and have your load secured for quick unloading.

Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose loads - tarps and tied-down debris make unloading faster and safer.
- Use a pickup bed ramp or tailgate-friendly setup if unloading bulky yard waste or heavy items to avoid delays.
- Sort recyclables and trash beforehand so dumping goes quickly; keeping like items together helps get through the line faster.
