Toledo E-Waste Guide 2026: Where to Drop Off Old Electronics

If you’ve done some spring cleaning (or office cleaning) recently, you probably have a “junk drawer” or a corner of the garage filled with old laptops, tangled cords, and a dusty printer.

In 2026, getting rid of e-waste in Toledo is easier than ever, but you need to know where to go—and which places actually accept what you have. Throwing electronics in your curbside bin isn't just bad for the environment; it’s often illegal due to the hazardous materials inside.

Here is your complete guide to responsible electronics recycling in the Glass City.

1. The Best 24/7 Option: Recycle IT USA Community Bins

Most people want to recycle on their own schedule, not wait for a special weekend event. We provide 24/7 Community Drop-Off Bins located throughout the Greater Toledo area. These bins are tamper-proof and monitored, making them perfect for smaller items like:

  • Laptops and Tablets

  • Desktop Towers and Servers

  • Cell Phones and Chargers

  • Keyboards, Mice, and Cables

Find a 24/7 Bin Near You:

  • Sylvania Township: 4927 N. Holland Sylvania Rd (Government Center)

  • Springfield Township: 7617 Angola Rd (Public Works parking lot)

  • Perrysburg Township: 26609 Lime City Rd (Behind the Municipal Building)

  • University of Toledo: 3168 Village Loop (Between McComas Village & Glass Bowl)

  • Bedford Township (MI): 8100 Jackman Rd (In front of Township Hall)

2. Large Loads & TVs: Our Main Warehouse

If you have a trunk full of monitors or a massive flat-screen TV, the community bins won’t work. For large loads or specific items that require a small fee (like TVs), you should head directly to our main hub.

Location: 5265 Tractor Road, Suite L, Toledo, OH 43612 Staffed Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM

Important Note on TVs: Unlike many local recyclers, we do accept LCD, LED, and Plasma TVs at our Tractor Road facility for a small fee ($15 for 32” and under; $25 for larger). Please note: We currently cannot accept old tube (CRT) TVs or heavy glass monitors.

3. For Businesses: Secure Pickup Services

If you are managing a business, school, or medical facility, you shouldn't be hauling your e-waste to a drop-off bin. You need a Certificate of Destruction to ensure you are compliant with HIPAA or FACTA regulations.

Recycle IT USA offers professional pickup services for:

  • Office Cleanouts: We’ll take everything from the old printers to the server racks.

  • Data Security: We specialize in hard drive destruction to ensure your company data never leaves our sight.

  • Scheduled Pickups: Contact us to set a time, and our team will do the heavy lifting.

4. City of Toledo "Clean Toledo" Events

Throughout 2026, the City of Toledo and Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful host periodic recycling events. These are great for residents who have mixed materials (like tires or latex paint) to get rid of at the same time as their electronics. You can check the City of Toledo website for the 2026 schedule of events at locations like the Scott Park Campus or various Metroparks.
