Please follow these simple guidelines when placing your waste out for collection.

Do

• Have your roll-out container or bulk items out by 6:30 a.m. the day of your scheduled waste collection.
• Keep bulk and metal items separated (they're picked up by a separate truck).
• Keep yard waste separated from other collection items (it also must be cut and tied in 4-foot lengths no larger than 18 inches in diameter).
• Remove containers from curb line, alley or front yard no later than 8 a.m. on the day after your collection day.
• Place container at least 5 feet away from any object (cars, mailboxes, trees, etc.).
• Always allow 3 feet between containers.
• Place containers at curb (or alley) with handles facing house.

Don’t

• Overfill roll out (lid should be closed on roll out).
• Place any hot items in roll out (e.g., ashes from fireplace).
• Place roll out close to any obstruction (such as an automobile).
• Put loose trash in roll out (wrap or bag all trash).
• Have trash piled on or around roll out.

City of Dayton residents can dispose of hazardous waste and recycle electronics through the Montgomery County Solid Waste District.

Holidays

Garbage and recycling are not collected on holidays. On weeks containing a holiday, waste collection service will be moved back one day following the holiday. For example, if your waste collection day is typically on Monday, but that day is a holiday, your garbage will be collected on Tuesday; Tuesday’s normal collection will then move to Wednesday, and so on, through Friday. Holidays include New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King Day; Good Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day; Christmas Day.
