Solid Waste Facility
Lucas County Solid Waste Management
1011 Matzinger Rd, Toledo, OH 43612
(419) 213-2230Lucas County Solid Waste Management in Toledo is the county-run spot for dropping off general household trash, recycling and yard waste. Locals and small haulers use it for routine cleanouts and seasonal pickups.
The drive up to 1011 Matzinger Rd leads to an entrance booth and a working scale; plan to pull up and pause there before heading into the main tipping area. The site is large and industrial-looking - paved lanes, rows of roll-off containers, and piles or bays for different materials. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring yard-cleaning season, so lines and slow moving trucks are common. There are separate areas for different types of loads, so having items roughly sorted before getting out of the vehicle saves time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading is quicker and there’s less time spent walking between piles.
- Bring straps or a tarp to secure loose items in the bed or trailer; loose debris can be a hassle when unloading and on the drive there.
- Expect delays on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup - aim for an off-peak weekday if possible to avoid a long line.
