 In late Spring or early Summer, residents will receive an invoice for the annual trash fee. The trash fee must be paid for at the Police Department. Residents occupying a house or townhouse will be billed in the amount of $55.00. Tenants of an apartment building that has multiple units that are served at a common collection point for garbage and trash will be billed $35.00.
Trash/Garbage pick up is scheduled for once a week, BUT cans will be emptied only if label is attached. Recycling is picked up once per week, as are large items, yard waste and brush. (See Schedule HERE. Trash cans will be picked up from the rear of the house/building. DO NOT place cans at curb. Recycling, large items, yard waste and brush may be set out after 6:00 PM the day prior to scheduled pick up. All trash, recycling, large items, yard waste and brush to be picked up MUST BE SET OUT BY 7:00 AM the day of pick up.
GUIDELINES FOR WASTE & RECYCLING PICK-UPS
TRASH (Household waste, food, non-recyclable items, etc.) Must be placed in can, no larger than 32 gallons, with tight-fitting lid (On those occasions when you have more trash than cans, nonfood items may be placed in a sturdy plastic bag with a trash sticker attached.)
All cans AND BAGS to be emptied must have a clearly visible trash sticker attached.

YARD WASTE
(Grass clippings, weeds, pliable cuttings, Spring cleanup waste, leaves or other yard waste too small to be stacked or bundled)
Collected one each week
Collected in clear plastic bag or 30-gallon lawn/leaf paper bag (While either bag is acceptable, paper is encouraged due to its environmental and labor-saving benefits)

BRUSH
(Branches, brush and trimmings larger than 24” long)
Collected once per week.
Stacked in bundles not to exceed 5 ft. in length or 50 lbs.

LARGE ITEMS
(Items which cannot reasonably be broken down to fit into 32 gallon can or 30 gallon black trash bag, including large and/or bulky household items such as appliances, furniture, carpeting)
Collected once per week. Placed at the curb after 6:00 PM the day prior to pick up or by 7:00 AM the day of pick up.
NOTE: It is suggested that, whenever possible, residents have the company delivering a new appliance, furniture or carpeting, remove the old items or donate usable items to a charity that will remove them for you. This will save you the inconvenience of setting items out on pick up days.
CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS created during construction and/or remodeling, such as small pieces of drywall, lumber, bricks, broken asphalt roofing shingles, etc., should be removed by the contractor. When construction is done by the homeowner, please call the Rumpke at 242-4401 for instructions & pickup schedules.
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
Items such as car batteries, used oil, unused gasoline or other fuels, oil-based paint, paint thinners, pool chemicals, etc., are considered to be Household Hazardous Waste and cannot be picked up by Rumpke or the Maintenance Department. For a complete list of Household Hazardous Waste and/or for information about disposal of such materials, please stop by the Village office for a pamphlet or call the Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District at 946-7734 or 946-7777.

Several years ago, the Village of Mariemont passed an ordinance requiring all trash be kept in cans with tight-fitting lids. We also ask that all bottles, cans and other items for recycling be rinsed out to remove any food or liquids. One reason for this legislation was to discourage wildlife such as raccoons, rodents and possum from coming into our yards and green spaces. Another reason was to avoid unsightly trash, such as in the picture on the right above, which would detract from the uniqueness and beauty that makes us proud to call the Village of Mariemont our home.
If trash is set out in bags or in cans without lids, violators of the ordinance will receive one warning. If the problem is not corrected, violators will then be issued a citation which could result in a fine of as much as $100. To insure you are in compliance, please follow the examples below and the guidelines on the reverse side of this notice.
