Solid Waste Facility
Huron County Solid Waste District
180 Milan Ave # 1, Norwalk, OH 44857
(419) 663-8059Small county-run facility in Norwalk that mostly sees local residents dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Useful for anyone in Huron County who needs a nearby place to get rid of bulk home cleanup items or routine recycling.
Drive up to a manned entrance area where you’ll typically stop briefly before proceeding onto the site. There’s a scale and a weigh station to note - many people stop there both coming in and leaving. Recycling and yard-waste containers are grouped near the main drop area, with larger piles and dumpsters further in. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so space for turning and short wait times are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency ready (county facilities usually require it) and keep materials separated by type before getting out of the car.
- Bring help or straps for heavy or awkward items - there’s some walking and lifting from the vehicle to the bins.
- Expect buses of traffic on weekends and early spring; arrive early in the day or later in the afternoon to avoid the longest waits.
