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
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.
Local Tips & Community Info
Beavercreek's Exclusive Franchise Agreement
To reduce heavy truck traffic, minimize roadway wear, and keep neighborhoods quiet, the City of Beavercreek operates under a centralized solid waste franchise agreement. Currently, Rumpke Waste & Recycling is the sole authorized residential hauler for the community. Every single-family home and duplex is required to utilize this contracted service. Residents are billed directly by Rumpke on a quarterly basis. When you move into a new property, you must contact the hauler directly to activate your account and select your preferred trash cart size, which typically includes 95-gallon and 65-gallon options.
Set-Out Times and Receptacle Positioning
Collection days are distributed throughout the week depending on your specific neighborhood zone. To guarantee your household refuse is picked up, all containers must be positioned at the curb no later than 6:00 a.m. on your designated morning. However, city ordinances dictate that bins should not be placed out earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day prior to collection. Once emptied, all carts must be retrieved and stored out of public view by midnight on your service day. Be sure to face the cart's opening toward the street and leave a three-foot perimeter for the mechanical lifting arms.
Curbside Recycling Fundamentals
Environmental stewardship is heavily promoted across Greene County. Under the Beavercreek franchise contract, bi-weekly recycling is included with standard waste collection. Residents receive a separate cart dedicated exclusively to recyclable materials. Acceptable items include broken-down cardboard boxes, clean pizza boxes (without grease), glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic jugs. It is crucial to keep recyclables unbagged. Tangling hazards like garden hoses, extension cords, and plastic grocery sacks cause significant damage to the regional sorting facility's conveyor belts and are strictly banned from the green carts.
Navigating Heavy Trash and Bulk Pickups
Got an old couch or a broken washing machine? Large household items that surpass the capacity of your standard bin can be picked up at the curb, but coordination is required. You must notify Rumpke customer service at least 24 hours in advance to schedule a bulk extraction. Safety protocols demand that all mattresses and upholstered furniture be completely wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape to protect sanitation workers from potential bed bug exposure. Freon-bearing appliances, such as refrigerators, will only be removed if they display a certification tag proving the refrigerant was professionally evacuated.
Yard Waste and the Greene County Drop-Off
While minor yard clippings can be placed in your regular trash cart, large volumes of organic debris require a different approach. Rumpke will accept bundles of brush placed next to your bin, provided they are tied with heavy twine, measure less than four feet in length, and weigh under 50 pounds. For major landscaping projects, Beavercreek residents are encouraged to utilize the Greene County Environmental Services drop-off center located in nearby Xenia, which accepts bulk brush, leaves, and seasonal yard debris, often keeping these organics out of the regional landfill.
Schedule Adjustments for Observed Holidays
Sanitation workers observe six major national holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If one of these specific holidays falls on a weekday before or on your normal collection day, your pickup will be delayed by exactly 24 hours. Friday routes will subsequently be serviced on Saturday. If the holiday lands on a weekend, the normal Monday-through-Friday schedule remains entirely unaffected.
