Free composting to end for the season

Colder weather means you don't have to mow your lawn for a few months. And the approach of winter means there will soon be fewer leaves falling from the trees. The Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District is preparing to close its yard waste collection sites. Except for two dates after Christmas, the three sites will close for the season after November 23.

Sites:

  • East: Bzak Landscaping – 3295 Turpin Lane (off Rt. 32), Anderson Township MAP
  • West: Kuliga Park – 6717 Bridgetown Road, Green Township MAP
  • North: Rumpke Landfill – Struble Road and Colerain Avenue, Colerain Township MAP

Hours:

Saturdays and Sundays
11:30 am - 5:00 pm

 (Bzak Landscaping is also open during the week, 7:30 am - 5 pm in addition to the weekend hours)

All three sites will be open on Saturday, January 3, and Saturday, January 10, 2015, from noon to 3 pm for the composting of Christmas trees and other yard trimmings.

Guidelines:

Yard trimmings in commercial vehicles or from commercial establishments cannot be accepted. Brush and tree branches must be cut into lengths of 4 feet or less and must be no larger than 12 inches in diameter. Brush and tree branches must be bundled with twine. Bundles must not be heavier than 50 pounds. Yard trimmings must be brought to locations in containers or bags – brown paper bags preferred. Before dropping off your Christmas tree, please remove ornaments, tinsel, tree bags, etc. Containers and plastic bags will be returned. No large trailers or trucks larger than pickups. No pallets, boards, nails, fence, or wire accepted. No bricks, stones, or soil accepted. All children must stay inside vehicles. The yard waste drop-off sites are for Hamilton County residents only.
