!Contamination Tips
Loose is Best for Recyclables
Never bag your recyclables in plastic trash bags. Plastic bags wrap around the gears at the Montgomery County sorting facility, causing equipment damage and delays. Always toss your items straight into the blue bin.
Mattress Wrap Mandate
If you are disposing of an old mattress, do not place it bare at the curb. Health regulations in Huber Heights mandate that all mattresses must be fully wrapped and sealed in plastic to protect workers from bedbugs and biohazards.
Ditch the Dirt and Topsoil
When utilizing the Bridgewater Road Yard Waste Site or setting out curbside brush, ensure no dirt, grass, or topsoil is mixed in with your branches and leaves. These materials contaminate the municipal mulch and compost processing.

About Huber Heights Waste Management
Comprehensive Waste Management in Huber Heights
Residents of Huber Heights enjoy robust, city-contracted waste services provided by Republic Services. Unlike many municipalities that limit bulk items or charge extra per pickup, the Huber Heights program allows for an unlimited amount of household waste and bulky items to be collected weekly. From standard kitchen bags to old sofas and broken down cardboard boxes, simply placing them at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your designated collection day guarantees removal.
The Bi-Weekly Recycling Program Rules
Recycling in the city is managed on a bi-weekly schedule. Every participating home is issued a distinct blue recycling cart with an attached yellow lid. While you can confidently recycle standard items like cardboard, paper, glass jars, aluminum cans, and plastics #1 and #2, Huber Heights uniquely accepts #6 plastics as well. However, residents are strictly prohibited from bagging their recyclables; items should always remain loose to avoid jamming the sorting facilities.
Effortless Curbside Bulk Trash Collection
One of the most convenient aspects of the city's solid waste agreement is the curbside bulk trash policy. Large household items—including refrigerators, dishwashers, dryers, and carpet—are collected on your normal trash day without requiring a special appointment. Just remember a critical health and safety rule: all mattresses must be completely sealed or wrapped in plastic before being placed at the curb, or the driver will leave them behind.
Utilizing the Bridgewater Road Yard Waste Site
For landscaping projects that generate more debris than curbside pickup can handle, Huber Heights operates a dedicated Yard Waste Site at 7255 Bridgewater Road. Open from April through October on Thursdays and select Saturdays, the facility accepts tree limbs up to 8 feet long, brush, and plants from residents showing valid ID. As an added community benefit, residents can collect free wood chips and leaf compost during operating hours.
