Refuse, recycling and yard waste will be collected by three separate trucks each Thursday. Residents will be required to have their refuse, recycling and yard waste at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on Thursday for pickup. Waste Management of Ohio will begin collection promptly at 7:00 a.m. each week.
Holiday Schedule
Waste Management of Ohio recognizes six major Federal Holidays. These include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. If any of these holidays fall on a weekday, your trash collection will be delayed until Friday of the holiday week. Pickup will return to the regular Thursday schedule the following week.
Refuse & Garbage Collection
Waste Management of Ohio will provide regular weekly collection of refuse and garbage. Residents are asked to use rigid garbage containers or plastic trash bags for disposal of their waste.Cans or bags can not be more than 32 gallons or 50 pounds in weight.
Yard Waste Collection
In response to Ohio House Bill 592, which banned yard waste from landfills as of December 1, 1993, separate collection of yard waste will be provided weekly. All Plain City yard waste will be taken to a regional composting facility.
Since all yard waste will be composted:
Biodegradable paper yard waste bags are available at local hardware and grocery stores. They are a multi-layered craft paper bag which will hold 30 gallons of yard waste. A trash can may be designated “yard waste only” and must be used solely for that purpose. Any yard waste that is not prepared in one of the acceptable containers, or is mixed with general waste will be stickered and left at curbside. Waste Management of Ohio will not collect any refuse that is mixed with yard waste.
