Junk removal costs in Toledo

Before you drag anything to the curb in Toledo, try lifting it. Republic Services, which collects the city's trash, takes up to 5 bulk items a week with your regular pickup, and each item or bundle has to weigh under 40 pounds. You don't call or book. Anything heavier gets left at the curb, and you may be fined.

The other rules are about how the pile is put together. Bag loose trash. Tie branches, wood or rugs into bundles about 3 by 4 feet, and pull or pound flat any nails or screws. Bag or wrap a mattress. The truck won't take tires, paint, gas or other liquids, major car parts or commercial construction material.

Five items a week is all the curb gets. The city names property cleanouts, moves and remodels as the times a pile usually outgrows that, and says to get a dumpster or a private hauler. To haul it yourself, the Hoffman Road Landfill takes excess trash, furniture, remodeling debris and tires. It won't take yard waste, chemicals, paint or anything flammable. Recyclables can go to Clean Toledo, a self-service center where you unload your own.

All of this is new. Through the end of 2025, you booked a monthly bulk pickup with Republic. Starting January 5, 2026, the weekly set-out with no appointment replaced it.
