Ohio trash & bulky-item guides

Browse 6 reviewed city guides, then use the local page for the actual collection schedule, limits and service eligibility.

What changes across Ohio

Ohio cities set their own large-item collection rules, while solid-waste management districts play an important role in special-waste disposal. Ohio EPA directs residents looking for household-hazardous-waste options to their local solid-waste management district.

Important: A state resource does not create one statewide couch, mattress or appliance pickup rule. The city, county, HOA or contracted hauler serving the address usually controls curbside bulky collection.
