Solid Waste Facility
Wood County Solid Waste Management District
1 Court House Square, Bowling Green, OH 43402
(419) 354-9297Small county-run solid waste site in downtown Bowling Green used by residents hauling household trash, yard waste and recyclables. The place sees a steady mix of pickups, trailers and cars - mostly locals dropping off things from home projects and spring cleanups.
There’s an entrance booth where vehicles slow down and someone checks what’s being dropped off. A scale is usually on the driveway, so expect to stop and then pull forward to unload. Recycling and yard material drop-off points are visible from the main drive, with piles and bins rather than neat store-front displays. Lines form on weekends and during spring - traffic can back up into the lot when people are busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials easy to get at: tarp the load and have items sorted in the truck so unloading goes quicker.
- Plan for possible queues on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups; coming midweek usually means less waiting.
- Bring any documentation the county might require (proof of residency or vehicle tags) and secure loose items so nothing blows out while driving.
