Toledo offers bulk item pickup by appointment through Engage Toledo 3-1-1. Residents can schedule collection of large items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances. White goods with refrigerant require separate handling.
Toledo Division of Solid Waste provides bulk item collection by scheduled appointment rather than set curbside weeks. Residents call 3-1-1 or use the Engage Toledo portal to request pickup of items too large for the 96-gallon cart. Accepted bulk items include furniture, mattresses (should be bagged or wrapped), carpet (cut to 4-foot lengths and bundled), and small appliances. White goods (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) require refrigerant recovery by a certified technician before collection; residents must arrange removal of refrigerant and provide documentation. Construction debris, tires (4 max per year often), and hazardous waste are not accepted in regular bulk pickup. Toledo holds periodic Lucas County Solid Waste Management District hazardous waste collection events for paint, chemicals, and electronics. There may be a per-item fee for some bulk services.
Illegal dumping: misdemeanor under TMC 963.16 with fines 500 to 10,000 dollars depending on volume, plus cleanup costs. Setting out bulk without appointment: not collected, may trigger property maintenance violation.
