Solid Waste Authority – Wood County Recycles

For over 30 years, the Wood County Solid Waste Authority has been charged with maintaining our local landfill.

Join us in our efforts to reduce landfill waste through recycling of most household waste or proper disposal of hazardous items.

Recycling and Disposal Quick-Reference

Curbside Recycling

Leave plastics, glass, cans and paper in your curbside receptacle for weekly collection.

Tire Recycling

Leave up to 8 tires annually curbside for pickup at no charge. After 8 tires in a year, a fee will be assessed. Residents can also bring tires to our periodic collection events.

Paint Recycling

Bring old paint to one of our recycling events or:

leave the can out in the hot sun to dry, then place it curbside for weekly pickup; please leave the lid off of the can.
fill the can with kitty litter to absorb the paint, and then place it curbside for weekly pickup; please leave the lid off of the can.
paint onto newspaper and wait for it to dry, then put it into your trash for weekly curbside pickup
