Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Urban Beautification, in partnership with the Department of Public Utilities and Engage Toledo, will continue the commitment of bringing recycling event opportunities to the community in 2026. These events will be open to residents of Toledo only and provide the opportunity for participants to engage with a variety of vendors for recycling materials, hazardous waste, tires, televisions and other various electronics, personal documents, green waste, Styrofoam and other miscellaneous debris. This Ordinance will help cover costs for three (3) scheduled Clean Toledo recycling events in 2026, and support the large volume of materials collected by vendors for proper recycling and disposal that cannot be covered by the Ohio EPA grants.
