What Can I Place in My Trash Container?
- Most of your household
trash can be placed in your container.
- Trash must be bagged and tied before you
place it in your container. This prevents litter and is required by Columbus City Code.
- Do not
put trash around the outside of the container. Only trash inside
the container
will
be collected.
- Yard waste cannot be
thrown away with regular trash.
Visit the
yard-waste page
for more information.
- Items such as old
furniture that are too large for your container are considered bulk trash.
The City provides free collection of these items, but you must contact us to
schedule a
bulk collection. Visit the
bulk-collection
page for more information or
to schedule a collection via the web.
- Recyclable items such
as plastic bottles, paper and cans should not be placed with your household
trash. Visit our recycling page
for information on the City's free recycling options and convenient curbside
recycling subscription service.
- Some household trash,
such as pesticides or other chemicals, is hazardous and cannot be placed with
regular trash.
Please
visit the
household hazardous
waste page for information on convenient disposal of these items.
