Refuse Collection

Regular Schedule

Refuse and recycling collection takes place on Wednesdays. Items should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. for collection between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

The refuse and recycling schedule may change during a holiday week.  Rumpke observes six major holidays during the year – Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.  Should one of these holidays fall on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday your collection will take place on Thursday. The changes will only be effective during the week of the holiday. The week after the holiday collection will resume on its normal scheduled day for all three services. This information is subject to change annually.

Service Issues

If you experience missed collection or any other service issues please contact the Dublin Service Center at 614 410-4750 as soon as possible after the scheduled collection.

Collection guidelines include:

• The quantity of trash is not limited per household except that containers should not exceed a 33-gallon capacity or weigh more than 50 pounds

• Trash of a commercial nature (generated by businesses, contractors hired to perform services for home owners, etc.) will not be picked up

• Bulk materials such as boards, fencing, paneling or carpeting should be cut into four-foot by four-foot lengths and tied in 18-inch bundles weighing no more than 50 pounds

• Loose materials such as rocks, sod, bricks, blocks, dirt, sand and cement must be bagged, boxed or placed in trashcans and weigh no more than 50 pounds. Cardboard boxes used as receptacles will not be picked up if they have become wet

• Furniture or appliances will be picked up on regular collection days in one piece. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) must be removed from certain appliances before the appliance can be recycled or disposed. CFCs are typically found in those appliances that use a refrigerant, i.e. air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. Residents can make pick up arrangements directly with Rumpke Waste Removal & Recycling, Inc., at 1-800-828-8171. The appliance must be placed at the curb. The cost for disposal is $50 per appliance. The City encourages residents to recycle furniture and appliances by donating them to a charity of their choice.

• Animal waste and disposable diapers must be wrapped in moisture-proof material

Acceptable containers for non-recyclable trash includes:

• Sealed plastic bags or sealed paper bags of a mill thickness of at least 1.5 and a maximum capacity of 30 gallons. No more than 50 pounds of weight should be placed in any container

• Metal or plastic cans or barrels with two handles and a tightly-fitting lid

• Cardboard boxes for bulky or loose material other than garbage. Overloaded or wet boxes are unacceptable containers

Sharps collection

Residents who use the sharps collection service for hypodermic needles and other items can now place sharps containers directly into their trash container rather than dropping them off at the Dublin Service Center. Residents can still pick up their sharps containers at the Service Center, 6555 Shier Rings Road
