The Medina County Solid Waste District serves incorporated and unincorporated areas of Medina County, with the exception of the City of Rittman and the Village of Creston, with solutions for solid waste. Proof of residency is required to use our facility and services. We are one of 52 solid waste districts created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1989.
These districts were established with the mission of reducing reliance on landfills. Acting upon that mission, the Medina County Solid Waste District provides consumers recycling opportunities around Medina County at our single stream recycling drop off-locations and on our campus in Seville.

Services
Single Stream Recycling is a system in which all recyclables (paper, plastics, metals, etc.) are collected and handled together, instead of being collected and handled separately. Single stream processing systems are designed to handle commingled recyclable materials, with recyclables separated for reuse at a materials recovery facility.
The Medina County Solid Waste District and local yard waste recycling companies provide a place for homeowners, businesses and landscapers to drop-off their grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs, and other yard trimmings. The yard waste is recycled locally and used to create mulches, soils and composts that are for sale throughout Medina County.

Been going here for years. They weigh you on way in and out for bulk trash. Bags are charged per bag. Paint is only on Wednesdays. Go early as you can on Saturday long lines from weekend warriors. You pull right up to dumpsters to unload. Watch for nails and screws when you back up to dumpsters. People in scalehouse try to get you in and out as quickly as possible. They take cash or checks only and no bills over 50. You're welcome.

Not sure why people are so negative. It is a place that takes your waste and recycling. It is not a high end restaurant or hotel with superior customer service. They provide a basic service and cater to professional companies. No need to beso negative. Saturday is rookie day and expect to wait a while.
Have a great day all!

CASH or CHECK only?
It's 4/11/2020 and this remains to be a place of business that only accepts cash or check? Even state services like the BMV currently accept Debit/Credit, albeit with a surcharge. There was nothing stating this upon entrance at the location and I fail to find anything on their website stating 'cash or check only'.
I waited 25 minutes in a line with a couch in the back of my car only to be declined because those are the only accepted methods of payment at the scale station. Then to just to drive off with the same couch afterwards felt like an utter disservice.

You have to be a Medina County resident to get in, but this is a secret they don't reveal anywhere on their website or facebook page. They don't even say it on a sign anywhere. You only find out after you wait in the long, slow line and weigh in. I've been there many times before and they never asked what county I was from. It's not like bulk trash is free to dump, they actually charge a rather high price. But now it's for MEDINA COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY so don't waste your time going there!

My experience with this place is just terrific. the people there are so very helpful they like to keep the line moving. we been there when it's been packed. They actually have somebody collect and they just moving people. because we could take the stuff there and dump it very reasonable more than having pick up a service that you're paying for we bring garbage out two times a month people are always friendly it's a quick easy process. Thanks

This place has been "state of the art" for recycling over the last few years. I believe that was recently abandoned however. (Politics/cost? I am not sure). Still, they do a great job. You can
buy wonderful soil for your garden for a very good price. You can dump stuff and recycle items
in various bins. Good staff, they keep it very organized and things move through quickly.
An impressive place for what it does.
