Refuse Collection

Refuse, recycling and yard waste collection day is Tuesday. There will be separate trucks sent to collect refuse, recycling and yard waste. Since it is possible for route and personnel changes to take place periodically, please be sure to place your trash out at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on collection day, even if your refuse, recycling and yard waste is seemingly picked up at the same timie each week. If you miss any of the collections because you did not get your items out before the truck goes by your home, they will not be able to come back and you will need to remove the items from the curb and put them out on time the following week. Refuse collection guidelines are abailable at the Utilities Department. 

Refuse is billed at a flat monthly rate, currently $12.44 per month. Senior citizens 62 or older may apply for a discounted rate of $11.44 per month. Senior citizens 63 or older that also qualify for the Homestead Exemption through the Lorain County Auditor's Office may apply for a discounted rate of $10.44 per month.
