City collection Furniture too large for the container goes next to the blue trash container on the regular weekly bulk collection, with upholstered pieces wrapped in plastic. No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because bulky material rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. The county collection centre refuses furniture of any kind, so the curb is the local route.
City collection A mattress or box spring leaves at the curb on your regular pickup day as a bulky item, wrapped completely in plastic, and it counts against the same volume allowance as any other bulky load. No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because bulky material is collected on the regular weekly service that the household pays for on its city utility account. The county collection centre refuses mattresses outright, so the curb is the local route.
City collection Appliances go to the curb as bulky items on the weekly collection, and any unit that holds Freon must have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician before it goes out. The city publishes no per-item bulky charge because the collection rides the weekly service billed on the utility account. The Freon work itself is a separate service: the county lists certified recovery companies and the city requires the tagging before collection. Confirm the collection with Republic Services at 800-433-1309 and the Freon work with the company you choose.
City collection Bulky items are collected every week on the regular pickup day, next to the blue container, inside a curbside volume allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet and up to six 35-gallon bags. No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. Extra trash in large contractor bags is not collected, and anything beyond the volume allowance has to be handled another way.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Lorain collects household trash and recycling every week, and bulky material rides the same schedule rather than waiting for an appointment: furniture, mattresses and appliances go next to the blue container on your regular pickup day. Preparation matters more than scheduling here, because a mattress or an upholstered piece has to be wrapped in plastic and a refrigerator or freezer has to have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician first. Electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and scrap tires go to the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District collection center in Elyria, which refuses furniture, appliances other than microwaves, construction debris and yard waste.
A mattress or box spring leaves at the curb on your regular pickup day as a bulky item, wrapped completely in plastic, and it counts against the same volume allowance as any other bulky load.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because bulky material is collected on the regular weekly service that the household pays for on its city utility account. The county collection centre refuses mattresses outright, so the curb is the local route.
When & how
Set the wrapped mattress or box spring next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, so there is no appointment to book.
Get it ready
Wrap the mattress and box spring completely in plastic before they go out. Keep the load within the bulk allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet at the curb, and do not put the item in a contractor bag, which is not collected.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because bulky material rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. The county collection centre refuses furniture of any kind, so the curb is the local route.
When & how
Place the furniture next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before.
Get it ready
Wrap upholstered furniture completely in plastic before it goes out. Break down anything that comes apart, keep the load inside the bulky allowance of roughly five feet by five feet by five feet, and keep it out of the recycling bin, which refuses furniture.
Appliances go to the curb as bulky items on the weekly collection, and any unit that holds Freon must have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per-item bulky charge because the collection rides the weekly service billed on the utility account. The Freon work itself is a separate service: the county lists certified recovery companies and the city requires the tagging before collection. Confirm the collection with Republic Services at 800-433-1309 and the Freon work with the company you choose.
When & how
Set the unit next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. Call Republic Services at 800-433-1309 or the city at 440-204-2500 option 4 with any question about the load.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer, and have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, which is the same requirement for any other Freon-bearing appliance such as an air conditioner or dehumidifier. Certified recovery options the county names include SA Recycling Elyria at 440-322-1333, Sugar Ridge Recycling at 440-322-0597 and Dye's Appliance in Lorain at 440-246-3937. The county centre itself accepts only microwaves.
Televisions, computers and other electronics go to the Lorain County collection center in Elyria, which takes flat screens of any size and tube sets up to 27 inches but refuses console and cabinet televisions.
City cost & eligibility
The district publishes no fee for either electronics or household hazardous waste from a household, and it does not state that the electronics programme is free the way it does for passenger tires. Confirm at the collection center when you arrive.
When & how
Take the devices to the collection center at 540 S Abbe Road, Elyria, OH 44035, open Monday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hours are subject to change, and the phone number is 440-329-5440.
Get it ready
Back up or erase personal data before handover, and keep electronics out of the curb pile and the recycling bin. Flat screen televisions and monitors of any size are accepted, but tube televisions must be 27 inches or smaller, console and cabinet televisions are refused, and an exposed picture tube is refused. The center also refuses alkaline batteries, which belong in the regular trash, and it takes rechargeable and lithium batteries only as household hazardous waste.
Construction and demolition debris is not a curbside item and is refused by category at the county collection center, so a project load goes to a private container or to the landfill the city names in Oberlin.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the county publishes a residential rate for construction debris. The city names the landfill at 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin as an option for excess waste, and a private dumpster company quotes its own container and tonnage price. Confirm hours, accepted material and the rate directly before you load.
When & how
Private container collection is scheduled with the company you hire. The city names the landfill at 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin for excess waste, and its hours and rates are not published on the city page, so call before the trip.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the blue container, out of the recycling bin and off the bulky pile, because the county center refuses it by category and the city does not name it in the bulk list. Separate clean concrete, brick and asphalt where the receiving site can recover them, and keep hazardous renovation products such as paint thinner, solvents and asbestos out of the load.
Exercise equipment is named on the county refusal list and is not named in the city's bulky list, so a treadmill or a home gym needs a confirmation call before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate exists for an exercise machine. If the city accepts it as a bulky item it rides the weekly service with no separate per-item charge, and if it does not, the household arranges something else. Confirm with Republic Services at 800-433-1309 or the city at 440-204-2500 option 4.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 800-433-1309 or the city at 440-204-2500 option 4 before the machine goes out, and describe its size and weight.
Get it ready
Fold the machine down as far as it will go so it reads as one item rather than several. Keep it out of the recycling bin, which refuses scrap metal and tools, and remember that the county collection center refuses exercise equipment outright, so the curb question is the only local one left to settle.
Bulky items are collected every week on the regular pickup day, next to the blue container, inside a curbside volume allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet and up to six 35-gallon bags.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate per-item charge is published, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service the household pays for on its city utility account. Extra trash in large contractor bags is not collected, and anything beyond the volume allowance has to be handled another way.
When & how
Put the load next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, and Christmas trees are picked up every week as well.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet and to no more than six 35-gallon bags at 35 pounds each. Cut carpet and wood to four-foot lengths, roll or bundle them under 35 pounds each and remove or hammer down the nails. Break boxes down to four feet or less and tie them, and do not place items inside boxes. Wrap mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture in plastic, and keep electronics, hazardous products and construction material out of the pile.
Furniture and appliances too large for the container go next to the blue trash container on your regular collection day, and bulk material is collected every week rather than by appointment. Put it out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before, keep it inside a curbside allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet, and do not use large contractor bags because they are not collected.
Cut carpet and wood into four-foot lengths, roll or bundle them under 35 pounds each, and remove or hammer down nails and screws. Break boxes down to four feet or less and tie them, and never put items inside a box. Wrap mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture completely in plastic before they go to the curb.
A refrigerator or freezer needs the doors removed and the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, and any other Freon-bearing appliance such as an air conditioner or dehumidifier needs the same treatment. The county lists certified recovery options including SA Recycling Elyria at 440-322-1333, Sugar Ridge Recycling at 440-322-0597 and Dye's Appliance in Lorain at 440-246-3937. The county collection center will not take appliances other than microwaves.
What the county collection center takes and refuses
The Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria takes electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and scrap tires on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and it is open to Lorain County residents, businesses and organizations only, with dumping prohibited. It refuses furniture of any kind, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction and demolition debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment, yard waste, tube televisions over 27 inches and any console or cabinet television.
Paint, thinner, solvents, gasoline, propane tanks under 33 pounds, pesticides, pool chemicals, mercury devices, lead acid and rechargeable batteries and used oil go to the county collection center as household hazardous waste, and alkaline batteries belong in the regular trash. Passenger tires are free for Lorain County residents at the collection center in Elyria and at the New Tire Site at 2601 East 28th Street in Lorain, operated by the city on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., where tires must be stacked in the trailer.

Televisions, computers and other electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and passenger tires from a Lorain County household.
Cost & conditions
The district publishes no fee for household electronics or household hazardous waste, and it states that passenger tires are free for Lorain County residents. Confirm any charge at the center when you arrive, and note that business tire loads and commercial material follow different rules.
Arrange it
Drive to 540 S Abbe Road, Elyria, OH 44035, open Monday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Wednesday noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with hours subject to change. Phone 440-329-5440.
County residents, businesses and organizations only, and dumping is prohibited.

Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and other Freon-bearing appliances that need the Freon removed and tagged before collection.
Cost & conditions
Each company quotes its own price for recovering the Freon and handling the appliance, and the district publishes no rate. Confirm the price and whether the company will take the unit after recovery.
Arrange it
The district names SA Recycling Elyria at 440-322-1333, Sugar Ridge Recycling at 440-322-0597 and Dye's Appliance in Lorain at 440-246-3937.
The city requires the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician before an appliance is collected, so this step comes before the curbside set-out. The county collection center will not take the appliance itself.
Excess waste and project material that will not fit the curbside allowance or that the county collection center refuses.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no rate, no accepted-material list and no hours for this landfill, and neither does the county's page for it. Call the landfill before you load and confirm the current gate rate and what it will take.
Arrange it
The city names the landfill at 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin as a way to handle excess trash, and a private dumpster company is the city's other suggestion.
Nothing about the site is published beyond the address in the city's excess trash note, so hours, accepted material, load limits and the rate all have to be confirmed by phone before a trip.
Most bulky material in Lorain does not need a trip or an appointment: furniture, mattresses and appliances go next to the blue container on the regular weekly pickup, provided the mattress and upholstered pieces are wrapped in plastic and any Freon-bearing appliance has had the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician. Electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and passenger tires go to the Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria, open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and passenger tires are also free at the city's New Tire Site on East 28th Street on Tuesdays. The center refuses furniture, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment and yard waste, so project material and anything oversized goes to a private container or to the landfill the city names on Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin.
