About This Location

The Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District's Trumbull Collection Facility at 5138 Enterprise Blvd in Warren is a free, drive-thru drop-off site run by the bi-county SWMD for residents of Geauga and Trumbull counties. It is open every Wednesday year-round from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., plus select once-monthly Saturdays (9 a.m.–noon) from May through October. Year-round the site accepts electronics (e-waste), household appliances of all kinds — including Freon-bearing units, which staff de-gas on site at no charge — and Styrofoam (EPS) packaging foam. From May through October it expands to accept the full range of household hazardous waste (gasoline, oil-based paints, automotive fluids, pesticides, and similar materials). During the winter months (November–April) only a limited set of HHW items is accepted: batteries, fluorescent/CFL/LED bulbs, propane tanks, and fire extinguishers. Staff unload your vehicle; no commercial waste is accepted, and the facility is closed on government holidays.
