The Hoffman Road facility began operation in 1975. The Division of Solid Waste has submitted a plan to the Ohio EPA which will allow for an expansion of the city's only operating landfill. The plan was approved in 1999. This will add a minimum of 26 additional years of disposal capacity, servicing the residents of Toledo until the year 2026.

Construction of the first cell in the expansion plan (Phase 1) was completed and approved for use by the Ohio EPA in December of 2000 at a cost of $3,300,000. This disposal cell is projected to be filled to capacity in approximately one year. The second cell (Phase 2) was completed in December of 2001. The Phase 2 cell construction project was completed in conjunction with final closure of a cell that was filled to capacity. Total cost of the project was $4,500,000. The capacity of the Phase 2 cell is in excess of one million cubic yards, and is projected to last approximately two and a half years. Six additional cells are to be constructed over the remaining lifetime of the landfill.

Once the landfill reaches capacity, it will be developed into a recreational area with walking and biking trails, extensive landscaping, and large open areas for sports fields.

To facilitate expansion of the landfill, Hoffman Road was relocated to the east side of the site. The maintenance and office buildings have been replaced, with the new facility located at the far south end of the property to maximize future disposal capacity.
