Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Akron mattresss go weekly on normal trash day — place 3 ft from cart; no preschedule for furniture/mattresses. Large bag/box volumes need Special Bulk Volume Pickup (3/year; call 311 ≥1 business day ahead). Keep HHW for ReWorks.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to Summit County ReWorks HHW at 1201 Graham Road, Stow — seasonal Thursdays 2–7 pm (confirm 2026 season dates). Oil/solvent paint at HHW; latex must be dried for trash. Keep chemicals off bulk piles.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Akron TVs go on weekly large-item pickup. Other electronics including e waste mixed use Summit County ReWorks Recycling Days at 1201 Graham Road, Stow (seasonal event dates). Wipe data.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Concrete, drywall, roofing, and demolition debris are not accepted in Akron carts. Limited bundled wood/brush may go curbside; larger C&D needs private hauler. Route paint to ReWorks HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Akron yard waste: tied bundles (brush/branches) weekly curbside — not in carts; separate leaf collection Nov–Dec.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Akron recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Akron — Trash and Recycling is the official Akron program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
