Here’s the truth about Medina County: who picks up your trash depends a lot on where you live. The City of Medina and Wadsworth run their own sanitation departments. Brunswick contracts with Kimble. Some townships have one hauler for everybody, and in others you pick your own. Each one sets its own bulk rules.
The one constant is the Medina County Solid Waste District’s drop-off in Seville. It takes hazardous waste, tires, TVs, and even refrigerators from county residents. But it has its own rules too, including a 10-item limit per vehicle for hazardous and specialty waste, and cash or check only.
We pulled the rules from the district’s website and each community’s official pages and put them in one place. Where a community doesn’t publish its rules, we tell you who to call.
Rules and fees checked September 2026. Fees and hours change, and haulers change when contracts renew. Always confirm with your community or the district before you load up.

The Medina County Drop-Off in Seville
The Medina County Solid Waste District runs a drop-off at 8730 Lake Rd. in Seville. It takes hazardous waste, recycling, yard waste, scrap metal, and more from Medina County residents.
Hazardous waste and other specialty items (electronics, tires, and appliances with Freon) are taken Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to noon. There’s a 10-item limit per vehicle, though you can box several small items together to count as one. The district only accepts cash or check, not credit or debit cards. And it can’t accept specialty waste from businesses, per Ohio EPA.
The same site has a trash and bulk drop-off, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to noon. It’s charged by weight: a $6 minimum for 200 pounds or less, plus $2.75 for every 100 pounds over that. Mattresses dropped off there don’t need to be bagged.
What the specialty drop-off takes, with the district’s listed fees: latex paint (no charge); oil-based paint (no charge); gasoline, diesel, and kerosene (no charge); used motor oil (no charge); 1- and 20-pound propane tanks (no charge); rechargeable and lithium batteries and car batteries (no charge); washers, dryers, and stoves (no charge); refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and window air conditioners ($10 each); TVs and computer equipment ($5 each); passenger and light truck tires ($2.50 each, off the rim, 10 or fewer per visit); and fluorescent bulbs ($0.55 each).
What it does not take: ammunition, fireworks, and explosives; asbestos; concrete, brick, rocks, and dirt; roofing and siding; lumber, decks, fences, railroad ties, and pallets; stumps and root balls; food waste; pharmaceuticals; and medical equipment.
What Goes Where in Medina County
- Latex paint. The district says liquid latex paint is hazardous, but once it’s hardened with a solidifier, kitty litter, or sand, it isn’t, and it can go in your trash. Check your community’s rules first, though. The City of Medina lists water-based paint among the hazardous items it won’t pick up, and Brunswick says no paint in or next to the cart. The simplest answer is the Seville drop-off, which takes latex paint at no charge.
- Oil-based paint and stain. Take them to the Seville drop-off. No charge.
- Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners. The Seville drop-off takes them for $10 each. The City of Medina won’t pick up anything with Freon at the curb. Brunswick requires the Freon removed by a certified technician and the appliance labeled, with refrigerator and freezer doors removed.
- Mattresses. The district says mattresses should be thrown away, and that some haulers have their own requirements for preparing them. Brunswick requires them wrapped in plastic. At the Seville trash drop-off, they don’t need to be bagged and are charged by weight.
- Tires. The Seville drop-off takes passenger and light truck tires for $2.50 each and oversized pickup and racing tires for $13 each. Tires must be off the rim, 10 or fewer per visit. No farm or semi tires.
- TVs and computers. The Seville drop-off takes them for $5 each. The City of Medina won’t pick up TVs, monitors, or computers at the curb. Brunswick lists TVs among its curbside bulk items.
- Construction and remodeling debris. The Seville drop-off won’t take lumber, decks, fences, roofing, siding, concrete, or brick. The City of Medina collects most construction debris at the curb within its weekly limit. Brunswick won’t.
Township Residents: Your Hauler Sets the Rules
If you live in a Medina County township, your bulk rules usually come from your trash hauler, not the township. Some townships contract one hauler for everyone. In others, you pick your own.
- Hinckley Township: Contracts with a single hauler, Rumpke, through January 31, 2030. Call Rumpke customer service for bulk pickup, at (800) 828-8171.
- Montville Township: Trash and recycling are handled by Kimble, at (800) 201-0005.
- Medina Township: Residents contract with their own hauler. Developments with homeowners associations may contract for the whole development. The township lists Rumpke, Kimble, and Republic.
- Sharon Township: The township lists Kimble, Republic, Rumpke, and Wadsworth Utilities as trash options.
- Lafayette and Westfield Townships: Trash service is available through private companies. Each township lists several haulers to choose from.
Not sure who your hauler is? Check your bill. Then call them and ask for their bulk rules before you set anything out.

When It Makes Sense to Call Us
The Seville drop-off handles the chemicals, if you can get there on the right day with cash and 10 items or less. Your city or hauler handles some bulk at the curb. Here’s where we come in:
- It’s a tear-down. The City of Medina tells residents to rent a dumpster for roof, deck, shed, and pool demolitions. We tear down and haul away decks, sheds, and fences, and we take the debris to transfer stations and landfills that accept it.
- It’s a move-out or a full cleanout. The City of Medina calls move-outs large amounts of rubbish and recommends a roll-off dumpster.
- You have more than your limit. Medina allows 3 cubic yards a week, Brunswick 2. In Wadsworth, bulk pickup has to be arranged, and the Transfer Station charges by the item.
- It’s a refrigerator or air conditioner. The City of Medina won’t take it at the curb, and Brunswick needs it labeled by a certified technician first. We take them to metal recyclers, who remove the refrigerant.
- The stuff is in the basement or garage, and you don’t have a truck to get it to Seville.
We can take dried-out paint cans, but not liquid paint or hazardous waste. For that, the Seville drop-off is the place.
The number you get on the phone or online is an estimate, built from your description. When the crew arrives, they see the actual items and give you a firm quote before anything is touched. That’s the number you pay. If it doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing and we leave.
Same-day or next-day service is typically available, and we never charge a rush fee.
Every job is backed by our Amazing Service Guarantee: we promise to be friendly, professional, and dependable, or it’s FREE!

Ohio Junk Force also takes refrigerators and air conditioners to metal recyclers, who remove the refrigerant.

How much bulk trash will the City of Medina pick up?
The City of Medina’s Sanitation Department picks up most household bulk items at the curb on your regular weekly pickup day, up to 3 cubic yards a week, which is about 4 x 7 x 3 feet. Anything over that is charged at $7 per cubic yard. Most construction debris is also collected within that limit, if lumber and long pieces are cut to 4-foot lengths and bundled at 35 pounds or less. The city won’t pick up anything with Freon, household hazardous waste including paint, or specialty items like TVs, computers, and tires.
Will my trash company pick up a deck or shed tear-down in Medina County?
Usually not. The City of Medina collects most construction debris at the curb within its 3-cubic-yard weekly limit, but it says roof replacements, deck replacements, shed demolitions, pool demolitions, and large construction projects are large amounts of rubbish and recommends renting a roll-off dumpster. Brunswick won’t collect demolition debris, drywall, concrete, bricks, or roofing. The Medina County drop-off in Seville doesn’t take lumber, decks, fences, roofing, or siding either. Ohio Junk Force tears down and hauls away decks, sheds, and fences, and takes the debris to transfer stations and landfills that accept it.
Do I have to wrap a mattress for pickup in Medina County?
It depends on who collects your trash. Brunswick requires mattresses and upholstered furniture to be wrapped in plastic. In Wadsworth, the city’s Transfer Station takes mattresses for a listed $5 for a twin or full and $10 for a queen or king. The Medina County Solid Waste District says mattresses should be thrown away, and that some haulers have their own requirements for preparing them, so call your hauler to find out. If you’d rather drop it off yourself, the district’s trash and bulk drop-off in Seville takes mattresses without bagging and charges by weight: a $6 minimum for 200 pounds or less, plus $2.75 for every 100 pounds over that.
How do I find out the bulk pickup rules in my Medina County township?
Start with your trash hauler, not the township. Hinckley Township contracts with Rumpke through January 31, 2030, and Montville Township’s trash is handled by Kimble. In Medina Township, residents contract with their own hauler, though some homeowners associations contract for the whole development. Sharon, Lafayette, and Westfield Townships list several haulers, including Kimble, Republic, and Rumpke. Check your bill to see who your hauler is, then call and ask for their bulk rules before you set anything out.
Can a junk removal company use the Medina County drop-off in Seville?
Not for specialty waste. The Medina County Solid Waste District says it can’t accept specialty waste, like household hazardous waste, electronics, tires, and appliances with Freon, from businesses, per Ohio EPA. Because the district can’t accept specialty waste from businesses, a hauler you hire can’t drop it off for you. If you have hazardous waste, plan to take it to Seville yourself during specialty hours, with 10 items or less per vehicle and cash or check. Ohio Junk Force takes dried-out paint cans, but not liquid paint or hazardous waste.
When does it make sense to hire a junk removal company in Medina County?
Honestly, if your city or hauler will take it at the curb and you can wait, use them. Hiring someone makes sense when you’re over your limit, when it’s a deck, shed, or fence tear-down, when it’s a move-out or full cleanout the City of Medina recommends a dumpster for, or when it’s a refrigerator the curb won’t take. With Ohio Junk Force, the number you get on the phone or online is an estimate, built from your description. When the crew arrives, they see the actual items and give you a firm quote before anything is touched. That’s the number you pay. If it doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing and we leave.
Still Not Sure What Your City Will Take?
Call your city’s service department first. If it’s more than bulk day can handle, we’re here.
