WCSWMD Recycling Station
Public Works Yard, Sherman Ave, Pemberville, OH 43450
(419) 354-9297WCSWMD Recycling Station is the small recycling drop-off located in the Public Works Yard on Sherman Ave in Pemberville. Neighbors use it for routine household recycling runs. It’s the kind of place locals bring paper, cardboard, glass, metal and most plastics to keep out of the regular trash.
The site feels like a public works yard rather than a storefront - expect a drive-in area with large containers or roll-offs where materials are emptied. Containers are typically separated by material (paper/cardboard, glass, metal, plastics), and some districts run occasional special collection events for things like electronics or bulky items. Have things sorted and reasonably contained for a quicker drop-off. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so there can be a line.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten and bundle boxes before getting in line so unloading is quick.
- Keep glass in a sturdy box and separate it from loose items to avoid breakage and spills.
- Load vehicles with materials grouped by type (paper, plastics, metal) so each pile can be dropped at the proper container without extra sorting.
