The City of Dublin

Refuse Collection

Regular Schedule

Recycling collection takes place on Wednesdays. Residents can place their recycling materials into the proper City-provided recycling container.  However, they must keep trash separate.  For most residents, the City-provided recycling container is the universal color "blue", designated strictly for recycling.

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. See the 2012 Holiday Schedule.

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.

The City of Dublin pays for refuse, recycling and yard waste collection for residents. However, there are other things residents can do to help the City keep costs down while providing quality service:

• The City of Dublin receives a discount for collection for senior citizens over age 65. If you are 65 or older and the head of the household, contact Streets & Utilities at 410-4750 to help the City ensure an accurate count for this discount.

• Residents who will be away from their homes for three or more months need to let the City know so solid waste collection services can be temporarily discontinued and the City will not be charged for collection at their house.

• The City provides a blue recycling bin. Residents provide their own containers for waste collection except in the automated collection pilot program. Occasionally, wind may blow recycling or trash out of the containers and into the streets and yards of neighborhoods. When that happens, help keep Dublin a beautiful community by picking up materials and disposing of it properly.

• If a City-provided recycling container gets damaged, residents need to call the service center to schedule a repair at 614-410-4750.  City staff will respond and determine whether the container is repaired or replaced.  

• The blue recycling containers are property of the City of Dublin.  Therefore, when residents move from a home, the container should stay with the home.
