Garbage Collection in Toledo
According to the rules and regulations of Toledo, place your cart at the curbside by 7 AM on your collection day. To reduce litter, put all trash material into a bag and then place it into the garbage cart. Place your cart in a way that its lid will face the front of the street so that an automatic trash collection truck will pick up your trash easily.
Place your cart in a location that is easily accessible for trash collection trucks. Try to keep your trash away from obstacles such as poles, parked cars, and mailboxes. While placing your cart at the curbside, leave a distance of 2 feet from other carts. Moreover, your Toledo trash cart is labeled with a serial number that links with your residence, so if your cart gets damaged or you want to move, do not remove it—call Public Services.
Toledo Recycling Collection Schedule
Recycling services will be provided once every two weeks to reduce the trash in Toledo. Place your recycling cart at the curb along with the garbage cart to ensure your recycling collection. Place all recyclable material loosely into the cart and avoid putting plastic bags into the recycling cart. Place only empty, clean, and dry items into the recycling cart.
Recycling material comprises glass bottles and jars, plastic #1, #2, #4, #5, and #7, plastic bottles and jars (caps on), plastic containers with lids on, metal cans, paper, cardboard, aluminum, and steel cans. Rinse clean. Do not put any irrelevant contaminants into the recycling cart.

Your bulk trash will be serviced on the business day following your regular trash collection day. For instance, if your normal trash collection day is Monday, then your bulk trash will be picked up on Tuesday.
Place all bulk trash at the curbside in front of your property. Put all small trash items into a bag and then place it at the curb to reduce litter. If your bulk trash consists of tree branches and clippings, cut all branches into lengths of 3-4 feet, tie them into a bundle, and then place it at the curbside. The weight of each bundle should be 40 pounds.
Do not place clothing material loosely with bulk trash; otherwise, your pile will not be serviced. Place all clothing material into bags and then place it at the curb.
