Elyria collects bulk items curbside with regular pickup; large items should be disassembled as much as possible. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed, and appliances with refrigerant must be discharged and tagged by a certified technician first.
Bulk or large items are residential waste too big for the cart. In Elyria, items such as stoves, TVs, washers, refrigerators, furniture, and swing sets should be disassembled as much as possible and placed curbside with regular collection. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed before set-out for safety. The Sanitation Department will not take appliances containing refrigerants until the Freon is discharged and the unit is tagged by a certified technician. The Lorain County Collection Center, open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, also accepts appliances, electronics, tires, and household hazardous waste from county residents.
Untagged refrigerant appliances and undisassembled oversized items may be left uncollected until they meet the requirements.
