Solid Waste Facility
Auglaize County Solid Waste
15502 St Marys River Rd, St Marys, OH 45885
(419) 394-1270Auglaize County Solid Waste in Saint Marys is the county solid waste yard for local residents bringing household trash, recyclables, and yard waste. Neighbors drop off everything from small bags to trailer loads, and it feels like the kind of place folks swing by on a Saturday or after a big cleanout.
There’s an entrance booth where an attendant checks vehicles before directing drivers where to go. Pull up slowly; sites like this often have a scale and traffic flow that sends vehicles back across it before leaving. Recycling bins and yard waste piles are visible from the drive in, with dumpsters and drop-off points grouped near the working area. Weekends and spring cleanup bring noticeably longer lines, so expect some waiting at busier times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items loosely sorted if possible-recyclables, brush, and trash are easier to unload when separated.
- Use a truck or trailer with clear access; some drop-off pads sit higher and require a short walk or a small ramp to unload.
- Have paperwork or an ID ready in the booth area since these county facilities commonly ask for proof of residency.
