Trash Removal

Residential Trash Removal

Trash removal is provided to Harrison Township residents through a contract between the township and Rumpke of Dayton. The current contract will be in effect through April 30, 2011. Trash collection days are Monday - Friday between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Click on the menu to the left to see your trash pick up day. The following services available:

• Single Curb or Apartment Curb: No limit on the number of plastic bags or cans picked up. Everything must be set no further than 10 feet from the curb or alley, and this location may not be fenced or restricted.
• Single Low Volume or Apartment Low Volume: This service is limited to two containers for regular trash (e.g. 2 plastic bags, 2 32-gallon cans or 1 can and 1 bag).
• Single Carry Out or Apartment Carry Out: Trash containers may be no further than 10 feet from the rear line of the building, nor may they be placed in any enclosures, unless written arrangements are made with the hauler.
• Containerized: This service is used mainly for multiple units and apartments and must be approved by the hauler.

For residential trash removal rates, please call Harrison Township at (937) 890-5611.

Recycling

Although this service is not mandatory, we urge residents to recycle in order to lower trash volume. The hauler provides the bins, which are set out with the weekly trash. Items accepted for recycling include newspapers/mixed papers, glass, certain plastics, certain metal containers, polystyrene and polycoated paperboard (e.g. refrigerated juice cartons).

If you do not have a recycling bin at your residence, please call Rumpke of Dayton at (937) 461-0004. (There is no extra charge for this service or the bins)

Holidays

The following holidays are observed by the hauler: New Year’s Day, Labor Day, July 4th, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. If the holiday falls on or before your collection day (Monday - Friday), service will be delayed by one day for the remainder of that week with Friday residents being serviced on Saturday.

 ***Please note that if a Holiday falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), the collection day is NOT  affected and your trash will be collected on your normal collection day***
