Lucas County sets no bin-placement rule. In Toledo, carts are set at the curb the night before pickup and put away promptly after collection. Recyclables must be clean and free of food remnants.
Bin placement is a municipal matter. In the City of Toledo, carts should be set on the curb the night before your scheduled pickup and put away promptly once collection is complete. Recyclables placed in the blue container must be clean and free of food remnants. Cities like Maumee, Oregon and Sylvania, and unincorporated townships, set their own placement rules through their service contracts or property-maintenance codes. If you leave carts at the curb too long, it may be treated as a property-maintenance violation by your city or township.
Leaving carts out beyond allowed times may draw a property-maintenance citation from your city or township. Lucas County imposes no bin-placement fine.
