North Central Ohio Solid Waste in Urbana is a local solid waste facility that handles general household trash, recycling and yard debris for residents in the area. Neighbors, contractors and haulers use it for dropping off mixed loads and recyclables; it's the kind of place people go when clearing out a garage or doing yard work.
The site sits off US-68 and looks like a typical county solid waste yard - driveway in, an entrance booth or gate area, and piles or containers out past the scale. Expect to stop, be directed where to pull up, and then follow signs for recycling bins or the trash tipping area. Loads are usually weighed and charged by weight at many such facilities, so there’s often a weigh-in and a weigh-out. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines can form heading to the drop-off points.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items separated if possible: recyclables to the bins and mixed trash to the tipping area makes unloading faster.
- Have the vehicle bed or trailer cleared of loose debris so staff can direct where to dump without delays.
- Plan for some wait time on Saturdays and during spring/fall yard-cleanup weekends; arriving earlier in the day usually helps avoid the longest lines.
