Curbside Recycling: Thursday Pickup
The city of Columbus offers convenient curbside recycling free for residents who live in a single family home or building of four or fewer attached units that is not part of a larger complex. Recycling is picked up in the same locations as trash pickup every 2 weeks. Yard waste is then picked up on the same days at recycling. A full schedule can be found on our calendar, or on the city’s website: http://www.recyclecolumbus.org/
Recycling drop boxes are also available throughout Columbus. To find a recycling drop-off location, visit public service.columbus.gov/recycle.
Yard Waste: Thursday Pickup
Harrison West residents should use the yard waste collection service provided by the city instead of placing yard waste in the trash containers. Yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, twigs and branches. Yard waste should be placed in biodegradable paper bags (available at most grocery or hardware stores) or in rigid containers marked “yard waste.” Branches should be shorter than four feet and tied into bundles. Bags and bundles should weigh no more than 50 pounds. See publicservice.columbus.gov/yardwaste for more information.
Yard Waste is picked up every other week on the same day recycling is picked up. Check the calendar for the appropriate days.
