Lorain County is a good example of why the destination question deserves its own section.
The county's Solid Waste Management District does the county plan, education and collection events, and says so plainly: it is not responsible for your waste, recycling or bulk pickup, and directs those questions to your hauler. Its office is at 226 Middle Ave., Room 400, Elyria, OH 44035, on 440-329-5440.
The District runs the Lorain County Collection Center at 540 South Abbe Road, Elyria, OH 44035, open Mondays from 9 until 3, Wednesdays from noon until 6 and Saturdays from 9 until 3. It is important to be clear about what that site is. It takes sorted material from Lorain County residents, businesses and organizations only, and dumping there is prohibited. It is not somewhere a container load can go, and large quantities of accepted material need an appointment with the District first.
That leaves a privately operated disposal facility as the destination for a North Ridgeville container, which is why we confirm the receiving site for each job rather than publishing one address.
Your account manager tells you where your load is going, what that site charges and whether separating the heavy material first will save you money.
