Lorain County Collection Center, Elyria OH

You know you are a full blown adult when your Saturday is centered around getting rid of trash and old paint cans and finding it is an easy process that is a benefit to all county residents. And when you are done you feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

It is a drive through operation where you pull in, present your ID and then proceed to where you and the workers load it onto carts.

And away it goes.

The experience was quick and we will be back.

Check their hours. Not open everyday.

Fast, efficient, clean, and everybody is so nice and helpful. This place is a real asset to Elyria.

Clean building & good organization! There was a line when I got there, but it moved right along!

Ag tire dropoff. Very organized and they collected thousands of tires. No wait, lot's of equipment and staffing.

Learned a lot about what they take and dont take during a field trip with my girls' girls scout trip

They took a car full of newspapers and a trash bag full of financial documents to be shredded

So easy and convenient. Drive in show I. D. And they remove items from car. Friendy fast. Easy and almost fun.

Its a county agency. We take tires there that the public discarded along the roadsides we pick them up as I work for another county agency

It's all very simple. Drive-In, show them your license, pull up and open your trunk. The empty everything out and send you on your way! Very efficient way to get rid of hazardous waste & Electronics

I have used this service in the past and it was simple and easy however this time it was chaotic. The line for tire disposal began half a city block away from the entrance of the tire disposal facility. This was only made obvious when I was abruptly turned away from the empty facility. Apparently they are only capable of processing 4 customers every 30 minutes. I wonder why they don't expand their hours of service if they have as much interest in appropriate tire disposal? I waited over an hour to dispose of 4 tires.

Excellent and well run facility. Limited hours, plan accordingly.

1. Enter across from Washington Square Apts and look for the orange sign.

2. Cones direct traffic. Sorta like Cedar Point except your recycling - electronic gizmos in my case - go for a ride, not you.

3. Line is quick. Two vehicles at a time are unloaded.

4. Have your proof of residence ready.

Thanks to the polite and courteous staff.

Friendly workers. I had a hard time finding it. Look for Collection on building face. Follow orange EVENT signs

This place currently has different hours due to COVID-19. This place is not open on Mondays! It is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, though the lines are way longer than usual due to the center being closed for several months and only opening back up in the later half of July. It's still well worth the effort to drop your stuff off here. Masks are required though they'd prefer it if you stay in your car at all times. I went on a Saturday. The line looked scary long but moved along fast enough to be tolerable. I was home a little over an hour after I left and that's including the time it took to drive from Amherst to Elyria.

Your website says your were open today Monday, but you were close. Very poor communication

It took nearly 1 1/2 hours- but almost all of that was waiting in line behind 100 or so cars that. Like me, had things we weren't able to take during the oast couple of months due to tge pandemic. For now, they're only open on Saturdays, thus the long lines. Once I was close to the center, things moved fast. They're efficient and the facility is very clean.
