Special Pickups

Unusually large or heavy items are not picked up as a part of the regular collection service. Arrangements for a "Special Pickup" must be made. This includes unusually large or heavy furniture and appliances. Special yard waste pickups are also available. Special junk and yard waste pickups are conducted on alternating weeks. Do not mix yard waste with junk. See Arrangements for Special Pickups below.

One large item such as stoves, refrigerators (with freon sticker), water heaters, one room of carpeting cut into 4 x 4 pieces and rolled, box spring, or mattress will be picked up with your regular garbage on collection day. However, we urge you to have the installer of your new appliances, etc. haul away your old articles. No upright pianos will be collected, no cast iron bathtubs, hazardous materials, construction materials will be picked up. Mattresses will not be picked up if there insects of any kind on the mattress.  It is recommended that residents reuse the plastic their new mattress came in and wrap the old mattress for disposal. 

Refuse from construction projects will not be picked up. You should make arrangements with your contractor to dispose of construction refuse. Refuse from owner-performed projects will be treated as a special pickup.

Arrangements for Special Pickups - Pickups are made every other week on Tuesday for miscellaneous junk and every other week on Monday for yard waste. Please note: no special picks for yard waste are conducted from December 1 through March 1. Call the Municipal Offices (513.821.7600) no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Friday before the special pickup is to be made.

The charge for a special pickup is $75.00 per 1/2 hour of loading time, a minimum of $75.00 is charged.

Dumpster Rental - A small (4 cubic yard) dumpster is available for rental from Rumpke. You can request the small dumpster at the Municipal Building with payment of $50 (in advance, in the form of cash or a check payable to Rumpke). The dumpster is left on the resident's property for a week, unless early emptying service is requested. Additional weeks may be requested if no one else is scheduled to receive the dumpster, but each emptying is $50, paid in advance. It is necessary to identify whether yard waste or non-yard waste is to be disposed.
