The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Avon Lake contracts its residential trash and single-stream recycling to Kimble Recycling & Disposal, and every residence except those on private streets with their own contracts is set up on the 96 gallon cart by default, with smaller carts or unlimited service available from the hauler for a fee. Collection runs weekly from 7 a.m. on the day shown on the city map, carts go out after 5 p.m. the day before and come in within twenty-four hours, and a holiday on the collection day pushes the whole week one day later. Two routes sit on top of the carts. Each residence may put out up to two cubic yards of bulk and excess trash once a month on the regular collection day, with extra or unlimited bulk arranged through the hauler for a fee on forty-eight hours notice. Yard waste runs from March 1 through December 31 in brown paper bags, a labeled thirty-three gallon container or a free Kimble yard waste cart, while brush that is cut to less than six inches and four feet goes out bundled and larger branches go to the city chipper on a route with no fixed day.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no residential collection rate and describes a cart size change or unlimited service only as a fee service, so confirm the amount with Kimble customer service on 1-800-201-0005.
When & how
Put the carts on the tree lawn after 5 p.m. the day before the collection day and have them at the curb by 7 a.m., then bring them in within twenty-four hours. There is no service on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day, and every service is delayed one day when a holiday falls on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Sit the carts two to three feet from the curb with the handle facing away and at least three feet from other carts, mailboxes, trees and obstacles. Keep tires, batteries, automotive and truck parts, paint, oil, fluorescent bulbs, gas cans, propane tanks, hazardous or infectious waste, flammable liquids and anything a municipal solid waste landfill may not take out of the cart, and contact the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District for those instead.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item or per load bulk price, so confirm the extra or unlimited bulk charge with Kimble customer service on 1-800-201-0005 before the load is set out.
When & how
Put the monthly allowance out on the regular collection day, or submit a bulk pickup request through Kimble at least forty-eight hours before the scheduled collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the monthly set-out to two cubic yards or less and put it out with the regular collection, and note that a tire, a battery, an automotive or truck part, paint, oil, a fluorescent bulb, a gas can, a propane tank or hazardous waste has to go to the Lorain County district instead of the curb.
Grass clippings and yard waste are collected on the regular collection day from March 1 through December 31 in brown paper bags, a labeled container of thirty-three gallons or less, or a free Kimble yard waste cart, and the city does not take what a landscaper or tree contractor generates.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the yard waste set out within the published rules, and the ninety-five gallon yard waste cart Kimble provides is free of charge with a credit on the bill for the household that requests it.
When & how
Put the yard waste out on the regular collection day between March 1 and December 31, and ask Kimble customer service for the free yard waste cart.
Get it ready
Use brown paper yard waste bags with a limit of fourteen to sixteen bags for each residence, a container clearly labeled Yard Waste of thirty-three gallons or less, or the Kimble yard waste cart. Keep a load a professional landscaper or tree contractor generated out of the pile entirely, because the city will not collect it, and cut brush and small tree trimmings to less than six inches in diameter and no more than four feet, bundled, tied and under fifty pounds. Christmas trees are collected in the first and second full weeks of January with the decorations removed and the tree left whole on the tree lawn rather than in a bag or container.
Larger branches and shrubs go to the city chipper crew, which follows a route with no set day and can take two to three weeks to finish, and the route is suspended during leaf and snow season because the trucks are shared.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the city branch pickup, which is a service the city runs with its own chipper crew and answers on 440-930-4126.
When & how
Put the pile at the curb with all cut ends facing the curb, and expect the crew when the route reaches the street, because there is no specific pickup day and a full route can take two to three weeks. Branch pickup is not a regular service during leaf and snow season.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to branches only, with nothing else mixed in, and keep branches and brush out of a leaf pile because the city asks that leaf piles contain leaves only. A smaller branch or trimming that fits the hauler's limits goes out bundled with the yard waste instead, cut to less than six inches in diameter, no more than four feet long, tied and under fifty pounds.
For the weekly carts and the monthly bulk allowance
Carts go on the tree lawn after 5 p.m. the day before collection and to the curb by 7 a.m., two to three feet from the curb with the handle facing away and three feet from other carts, mailboxes, trees and obstacles, and they come in within twenty-four hours. A holiday on the collection day delays the whole week by one day. Up to two cubic yards of bulk and excess trash goes out once a month on the regular collection day, with extra or unlimited bulk arranged through Kimble on forty-eight hours notice for a fee.
Yard waste goes out on the regular collection day from March 1 through December 31 in brown paper yard waste bags with a limit of fourteen to sixteen bags for each residence, a container clearly labeled Yard Waste of thirty-three gallons or less, or a ninety-five gallon Kimble yard waste cart that is free with a credit on the bill. Brush and small tree trimmings belong with the hauler when they are under six inches in diameter, four feet long, tied and under fifty pounds. Larger branches go to the city chipper with the cut ends facing the curb and nothing else in the pile, on a route with no set day that is suspended during leaf and snow season.
Tires, batteries, automotive and truck parts, paint, oil, fluorescent bulbs, gas cans, propane tanks, hazardous or infectious waste and flammable liquids do not go in a cart, and the city points residents at the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District. Compact fluorescent bulbs are accepted at the Lorain County Collection Center at 540 South Abbe Road in Elyria and at the Avon Home Depot on 35930 Detroit Road, and a Lorain County resident may dispose of passenger tires free at a county scrap tire collection site, where state law limits a person to transporting no more than ten scrap tires without an Ohio EPA registration certificate.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
