A special trash pick-up, to collect items which are too heavy or of such composition or configuration
that they cannot be placed in the regular weekly refuse collection containers, will be held during the
week starting Monday.
All items should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on Monday to ensure pick-up. Items may be placed curbside
no earlier than 5 p.m. the day prior to pick-up.
There will only be one pick-up for each location and, once the crews leave a street, they will not
return.
Pickup is by ward and not by the normal refuse collection day. City crews will collect the large items
throughout the city independent of the normal refuse collection schedule. As with the city’s residential
refuse collection program, this special collection is only for one and two family dwellings on public
streets, per city ordinance.
Mattresses/box springs now will be collected for an additional fee. The fee is $25 for the first mattress
or box spring and $15 per mattress or box spring thereafter up to a total of three. The fee must be paid
prior to collection at 304 N Church St., Public Works, 419-354-6227.
Note that refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers are not eligible for collection.
By law, the city is not authorized to pick up building materials, construction or demolition refuse,
sod, and rocks. For a fee, property owners may dispose of these items at the Wood County Landfill on
U.S. 6.
