Residents should set out their recyclables at the curb on the same day as their regular refuse collection, but every other week (Call 419-936-2489 to determine if you are an "A" or "B" week) and we will collect it. It's just that simple and easy!
Residents can place their milk jugs, plastic soda bottles, laundry detergent bottles, aluminum and steel cans, and all colors of glass bottles and jars into one container. (A trash can is fine with the recycle label affixed to a couple of places on the can.) Newspapers, magazines, and phone books can be placed in a separate container or placed in a brown paper bag. Junk mail, high grade paper (office paper, copier paper & notepad paper), boxboard (cereal boxes, dry food boxes & shoe boxes), corrugated containers (cardboard) in 2'x2'x1' bundles can be bundled or placed in a separate container.
Did you know.......that last year the citizens of Toledo recycled over 4,000 tons of material through our Curbside Recycling Program..........saving valuable landfill airspace!

1. I want to recycle. What do I need to do?
Go to your nearest Andersons, Kroger stores, Library branches, Point Place Senior Center, East Toledo Family Center and Margaret Hunt Senior Center to pick up your recycle starter kit. Once you have the starter kit, in order to receive your discount, you need to complete the recycle pledge card and mail it in to the address above or click here to sign up online.
