Trash & Recycling Pickup

Residents can expect these minimum waste collection services:

All three waste haulers operating in unincorporated Washington Township have signed a Letter of Understanding, which indicates their willingness to meet certain performance standards set forth by the Township.

If you live in unincorporated Washington Township and your waste hauler has not provided one of the services detailed on this page, call the Township at 937-433-0152.

Washington Township lends "preferred provider" status to these waste haulers who operate within the unincorporated Township:

• Waste Management

• Rumpke Waste Removal and Recycling

• Republic Services (formerly Allied Waste Systems) 

Waste haulers each observe six holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.

If a holiday falls on a week day, then trash pickup is delayed one day, with the final pickup day being Saturday. This applies to all homes originally scheduled for pickup either on the holiday itself or later in the week.

For instance, if a holiday falls on a Wednesday, then trash service will be undisturbed on Monday and Tuesday. However, pickup will be delayed one day for homes that normally receive service on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If a holiday falls on a weekend, then normal waste pickup schedules remain unchanged.

For additional questions about waste pickup, contact your trash hauler.

Please contact your waste hauler to arrange removal of bulk items:

Branches and tree limbs can be tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet in length and 2 feet in diameter, with no limb being greater than 2 inches in diameter. Your waste hauler will provide pickup for bundles with your trash, if bundled in this manner.
