You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Trash and single-stream recycling are collected weekly by Kimble from the city's contracted cart service, with the 96 gallon cart by default and smaller carts or unlimited service available from the hauler for a fee.
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.
Each residence may put out up to two cubic yards of bulk and excess trash once a month on the regular collection day, and extra or unlimited bulk collection is arranged through Kimble for a fee with forty-eight hours notice.
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.
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.
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.

Kimble Recycling & Disposal collects trash and single-stream recycling weekly from the 96 gallon cart every residence is set up with, with smaller carts or unlimited service available for a fee on 1-800-201-0005, and the carts go out after 5 p.m. the day before, sit two to three feet from the curb with the handle facing away and three feet from obstacles, and come in within twenty-four hours.
