Holiday Schedule
General Rule
Most major haulers operating in Beavercreek observe the six major holidays. If a holiday falls on or before your normal collection day (Monday - Friday), service is typically delayed by one day for the remainder of the week.
Yard Waste Exception
Any yard waste or bulk item pickups scheduled through your hauler will also follow the standard one-day delay during holiday weeks.
Since Beavercreek uses multiple private haulers, it is highly recommended to check your specific provider's website or app for exact holiday schedule alterations.
Observed Holidays
!Contamination Tips
Ditch the Plastic Bags
Whether you use Rumpke, Waste Management, or Republic Services, plastic grocery and garbage bags are universally prohibited in recycling carts. They cause severe mechanical jams at the single-stream recycling facilities.
Keep Batteries Out of the Bins
Never place lithium-ion batteries or electronics in either your trash or recycling cart. They are highly combustible under pressure and frequently cause dangerous fires inside collection trucks and recycling centers.
Seal Upholstery and Mattresses
If your hauler permits curbside bulk pickups, ensure that mattresses, box springs, and fabric furniture are entirely wrapped in plastic. Haulers will reject unwrapped items to prevent the spread of bedbugs.
Seasonal Information
Winter
December to FebruaryDuring periods of heavy snowfall, place your waste carts slightly back in your driveway rather than in the street. This ensures they do not obstruct city snow plows and prevents them from being knocked over.
Spring
March to MaySpring cleaning often results in excess waste. Remember that you cannot simply overload your carts or pile bags on the ground without notifying your hauler. Call your specific provider to arrange a bulk pickup or temporary dumpster.
Fall
October to NovemberFall leaf cleanup is essential. If your private hauler's service plan does not include weekly yard waste pickup, you can take advantage of Greene County Environmental Services' drop-off locations for organic debris.
About Beavercreek Waste Management
Navigating Beavercreek's Open Market Waste System
Unlike municipalities that contract a single waste management provider, the City of Beavercreek operates on an open subscription market. This means homeowners and property managers are responsible for setting up their own trash and recycling services. Residents have the freedom to choose from authorized local haulers, which primarily include Rumpke, Waste Management (WM), and Republic Services, allowing for competitive pricing and customizable service tiers based on household needs.
Strict Container Placement Ordinances
Regardless of which private hauler you select, all residents must adhere to Beavercreek's property maintenance code regarding waste containers. The city ordinance mandates that trash and recycling carts may only be placed at the curb 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time. Furthermore, empty containers must be removed from the curb within 24 hours after collection and stored appropriately by the side or rear of the house or garage, out of direct street view when possible.
Managing Yard Debris in Greene County
Maintaining Beavercreek's beautiful properties generates a fair amount of yard waste. Most private haulers offer yard debris collection as an add-on service. Alternatively, residents can manage their green waste by utilizing drop-off programs managed by Greene County Environmental Services. If using curbside yard waste pickup, ensure branches are cut, tied, and bundled in lengths under four feet, and use compostable paper yard bags rather than plastic trash bags.
Handling Bulky Items and Appliance Disposal
Because Beavercreek relies on multiple private haulers, rules for disposing of large items like furniture, appliances, or mattresses will vary by company. Generally, haulers like Rumpke and WM require you to call at least 48 hours in advance to schedule a bulk pickup and confirm any extra fees. For sanitary and safety reasons, nearly all service providers require that mattresses and upholstered furniture be completely wrapped and sealed in plastic before they are placed at the curb.
Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics
Private waste haulers will not collect hazardous materials such as wet paint, motor oil, batteries, tires, or electronic waste due to landfill regulations and fire risks. Beavercreek residents should safely dispose of these items at designated Greene County Solid Waste drop-off events or authorized recycling centers. Properly managing these toxins protects the local environment and ensures the safety of sanitation workers operating in your neighborhood.
