Other notes
- Use Door N on the south side of the building for specialty waste/HHW during its narrower hours. Ordinary garbage hours do not imply HHW access every weekday.
- The current district site gives the physical address as 8730 Lake Road. The city of Medina recycling page still lists 8700 Lake Road for the district. This address conflict is unresolved; use the district contact to confirm the entrance before travel.
- Furniture and mattresses belong at the paid residential trash/bulk area, not unattended neighborhood recycling bins. District says mattresses dropped at this area do not need to be bagged.
- Construction and demolition materials are not accepted, including lumber, decks, fences, pallets, roofing, siding, concrete, bricks and gravel. No stumps, root balls, manure, medical equipment or pharmaceuticals.
- Branches and trunks must be no longer than 4 feet and no larger than 24 inches round. Food waste is not accepted in this yard-waste stream. Household recyclables such as paper, glass bottles, metal cans and listed plastic containers are separately listed as no charge.
