If you’re ready to declutter your home, garage, or life – Wood County SWMD has you covered for all your disposal needs. Accepted recyclables can be placed in the 24/7 Residential Recycling Drop-off bins in your local area. Non-recyclable waste can be taken to the Wood County Landfill Monday through Saturday. Household hazardous waste can be responsibly recycled at ERG Environmental Services in Bowling Green. For questions about proper disposal, contact the Solid Waste Management District at (419) 354-9297.
Mission Statement
The Solid Waste Management District is responsible for overseeing and implementing the solid waste plan within Wood County in order to assure there is sufficient landfill capacity available to dispose of local waste. This is done through the development of recycling opportunities for residents within Wood County. We are required to ensure that 90% of the county residents have access to recycling or to provide data that at least 25% of residential materials are recycled. Our office, additionally, is responsible for the operation of the Wood County Landfill.
We are dedicated to educating the community about safe disposal of solid waste and recycling. Not only do we participate in community events to provide information and educate the public, but we also have educational presentations and materials available for local schools and community organizations.
This department operates under the direction of the Board of Wood County Commissioners
