City collection The city's own cart guide tells a household to put furniture and heavy appliances out next to the trash cart, which is how bulky household items leave a Youngstown property. There is no separate bulky appointment published, so the items ride the collection next to the cart. No charge. Collected with the city service, with no separate charge published for furniture or a heavy appliance placed beside the cart. The only money the city publishes in this program is the $500.00 minimum service charge under Section 979.05 for abating a waste set over 20 cubic yards, which applies to an excessive accumulation rather than to an ordinary heavy item.
City collection The city publishes a mattress sheet with one clear condition: every mattress and box spring has to be wrapped in plastic and taped shut before it goes to the curb. The sheet states that the trash service will take them wrapped, and that an unwrapped mattress at the curb is littering that can draw citations and fines. No charge. Taken by the city trash service with the collection when the unit is wrapped in plastic and taped shut, with no separate charge published for a wrapped mattress or box spring.
City collection Heavy appliances go out next to the trash cart under the same cart guide instruction that covers furniture, and Green Youngstown additionally runs annual special recycling drives that its page names for appliances along with household hazardous waste, autumn leaves and Christmas trees. No charge. Collected with the city service when the appliance is placed beside the cart, with no separate charge published. The annual special appliance recycling drive that Green Youngstown describes is a separate event whose dates and terms are not published here.
City collection Youngstown collects residential garbage with city issued 96-gallon carts and trucks with automated arms. All garbage goes in bags inside the cart, the cart goes out facing forward at the curb the night before pickup, and it has to be clear of vehicles, mailboxes, garages, poles, hydrants, heavy trash, brush piles and recycling containers so the mechanical arm can reach it. The city publishes no per household collection rate, so confirm any account charge with Public Works at (330) 742-8800. The one money figure the city does publish is the minimum service charge of $500.00 that Section 979.05 allows the city to bill for removing or abating a set of garbage, rubbish, bulk items or yard waste over 20 cubic yards, which is a penalty for an excessive set rather than a collection rate.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Youngstown collects its own residential garbage with city issued 96-gallon carts and trucks with automated arms, and the same program takes the heavy items: the cart guide tells a household to put furniture and heavy appliances out next to the trash cart, and the city's mattress sheet says the trash service will take a mattress or box spring as long as it is wrapped in plastic and taped shut. Nothing goes in the cart loose, no hot ashes, no construction remodeling or demolition trash, and no auto parts, tires or batteries. Set-out is governed by ordinance too: trash may not go to the curb more than twelve hours before collection and the container comes back within a day after. Electronics are the exception to the curbside system and go to a year round drop-off run through the county Green Team, which needs registration, serves households only, and charges for a television or monitor while taking everything else free. Tires are barred from the cart and have to go to a licensed facility, and construction debris sits outside the ordinance definition of waste the city collects.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per household collection rate, so confirm any account charge with Public Works at (330) 742-8800. The one money figure the city does publish is the minimum service charge of $500.00 that Section 979.05 allows the city to bill for removing or abating a set of garbage, rubbish, bulk items or yard waste over 20 cubic yards, which is a penalty for an excessive set rather than a collection rate.
When & how
Put the cart out facing forward at the curb the night before the collection day, and check the city's 2026 residential trash holiday schedule before a holiday week, because New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are the six holidays the city observes for trash and several routes run a day late on those weeks.
Get it ready
Bag all trash and put it inside the cart, because the guide asks for that with an automated truck. Never put loose trash, hot coals or burning ash, construction remodeling or demolition trash, or auto parts, tires or batteries in the cart. Trash may not be placed at the curb more than twelve hours before collection and the container has to be off the curb within twenty-four hours after collection.
Furniture, heavy appliances and bulky household items
Accepted with preparation
The city's own cart guide tells a household to put furniture and heavy appliances out next to the trash cart, which is how bulky household items leave a Youngstown property. There is no separate bulky appointment published, so the items ride the collection next to the cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected with the city service, with no separate charge published for furniture or a heavy appliance placed beside the cart. The only money the city publishes in this program is the $500.00 minimum service charge under Section 979.05 for abating a waste set over 20 cubic yards, which applies to an excessive accumulation rather than to an ordinary heavy item.
When & how
Put the heavy item next to the cart on the night before the regular collection day, and keep the cart itself clear of the item so the automated arm can reach the container.
Get it ready
Keep the item out of the cart, because loose trash and the other barred materials are what the cart refuses, and leave enough clearance around the cart. Construction debris is expressly excluded from the ordinance definition of waste the city collects, so it is not part of this route and has to be handled separately.
The city publishes a mattress sheet with one clear condition: every mattress and box spring has to be wrapped in plastic and taped shut before it goes to the curb. The sheet states that the trash service will take them wrapped, and that an unwrapped mattress at the curb is littering that can draw citations and fines.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Taken by the city trash service with the collection when the unit is wrapped in plastic and taped shut, with no separate charge published for a wrapped mattress or box spring.
When & how
Wrap and tape the unit before it goes out, then place it at the curb with the collection on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Wrap the whole mattress or box spring in plastic and tape it shut, because the city states that an unwrapped unit at the curb is littering that can be penalized, and wrap it for the practical reason the city gives, which is to stop the spread of bed bugs. Keep it out of the cart and keep the cart clear so the automated arm can reach the container.
Heavy appliances go out next to the trash cart under the same cart guide instruction that covers furniture, and Green Youngstown additionally runs annual special recycling drives that its page names for appliances along with household hazardous waste, autumn leaves and Christmas trees.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected with the city service when the appliance is placed beside the cart, with no separate charge published. The annual special appliance recycling drive that Green Youngstown describes is a separate event whose dates and terms are not published here.
When & how
Put the appliance next to the cart on the night before the regular collection day, and watch the city's notices for the annual appliance recycling drive if a household would rather use that route.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the cart, because auto parts, tires and batteries are barred from it, and keep the cart clear of the appliance so the automated arm can reach the container. The city publishes no refrigerant handling rule for an appliance set out this way, so ask Public Works on (330) 742-8800 if the unit still holds refrigerant.
Electronics recycling is a year round drop-off through the county Green Team that Green Youngstown administers. Registration is required, vehicles that arrive without registering are not serviced, the service is for households rather than businesses or organizations, every television and monitor carries a fee, and all other electronic items are accepted free of charge.
City cost & eligibility
$20 for for every television and monitor at the year round electronics recycling drop-off, with all other electronic items accepted free of charge. A household, with registration completed before arrival, because the city states that vehicles arriving without registering will not be serviced and that businesses and organizations will not be serviced. The drop-off is arranged through the Mahoning County Green Team, which the city page links for the details.
When & how
Register first, through Green Youngstown at (330) 744-7526 or the county Green Team page the city links, then bring the electronics to the drop-off during the hours the program gives you.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer, phone or console leaves the house, register for the drop-off before loading the vehicle, and keep electronics out of the trash cart, which refuses the loose and hazardous material the guide lists.
Construction material is outside the city collection. The cart guide lists construction remodeling or demolition trash among the things that may not go in the cart, and the ordinance on excessive quantities expressly leaves construction debris out of the definition of waste the city may collect.
City cost & eligibility
There is no city route and therefore no city rate for construction debris. Because Section 979.05 excludes construction debris from the waste it regulates, even the excessive quantity service charge does not apply to it, so the material has to be handled privately by the household or the contractor.
When & how
Arrange private removal before the work starts, because the material cannot go in the cart, cannot go out as heavy trash, and is not part of the excessive quantity service the city charges for.
Get it ready
Keep remodeling and demolition material separate from the household load, keep it out of the cart, and do not mix it into a heavy trash set, because the city's only published route for bulky material is furniture and heavy appliances next to the cart.
Tires are barred from the trash cart, and Green Youngstown states that tires have to be disposed of at a regulated and licensed facility rather than through the city collection.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate exists because the city does not collect tires. The Ohio EPA keeps the current list of licensed tire haulers and licensed tire disposal facilities at (330) 963-1200, and Green Youngstown also links a Mahoning County list of licensed locations, so the cost is set by whichever licensed facility the household uses.
When & how
Call the Ohio EPA on (330) 963-1200 for the current licensed list, or use the Mahoning County licensed facility list Green Youngstown links, before moving the tires.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the cart, out of a heavy trash set and out of the recycling bin, because the cart guide lists tires among the barred items and the city routes them to a licensed facility instead.
The city provides single stream curbside recycling, which means everything accepted goes into one bin with no sorting, and the bins are free from the Green Youngstown office. Corrugated cardboard is the one accepted material that has to go to a drop-off site instead of the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The curbside bins are free to a Youngstown household at the Green Youngstown office at 9 West Front Street, and the drop-off centres the county Green Team operates are the route for corrugated cardboard. A resident of another community is directed to their own local government for a bin.
When & how
Put the bin out with the collection under the city's recycling schedule, and take corrugated cardboard to one of the Mahoning County Green Team drop-off centres.
Get it ready
Rinse and empty cartons, glass bottles and jars, metal cans and plastic bottles, discard the caps, and leave corrugated cardboard, shredded paper, plastic bags, Styrofoam, tubs and buckets and the other refused items out of the bin. The accepted glass is a food or beverage bottle or jar of any color, not ceramics, drinking glasses, window glass or broken glass of any kind.
Green Youngstown names special recycling drives for household hazardous waste among its services, alongside drives for appliances, autumn leaves and Christmas trees. No dates, address or fee for a hazardous waste drive are published here.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no fee and no schedule for a household hazardous waste drive, only the statement that Green Youngstown runs special drives for that material, so confirm the next date and any charge with Green Youngstown at (330) 744-7526 or recycle@youngstownohio.gov.
When & how
Call Green Youngstown or watch its notices for the next special drive date, because the pages retained here do not publish one.
Get it ready
Keep household chemicals out of the trash cart and out of the recycling bin in the meantime, and keep them out of a heavy trash set, because the cartridge guide bars hazardous material from the cart and the city collects no hazardous waste on the route.
Exercise equipment is not named in the cart guide, on the heavy trash instruction or by Green Youngstown. The nearest published category is the instruction to put furniture and heavy appliances out next to the cart, so a treadmill or a weight machine is confirmed with Public Works first.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment entry or rate is published, so confirm with Public Works at (330) 742-8800 whether the machine is taken as heavy trash beside the cart, and call (330) 742-8890 if the issue turns into a missed collection or a cart problem.
When & how
Call Public Works before the machine goes out, and put it beside the cart only for a collection day the department confirms.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart as far as it comes apart so it can be lifted, keep loose weights with the frame, keep it out of the cart, and keep any console or screen for the electronics drop-off instead, because that route is the published one for electronic items.
Bag the trash and put it inside the city issued 96-gallon cart, set the cart out facing forward at the curb the night before collection, and leave room around it for the automated arm. Loose trash, hot coals or burning ash, construction remodeling or demolition trash, and auto parts, tires and batteries never go in the cart. Trash may not go to the curb more than twelve hours before collection and the container has to be back within twenty-four hours after.
Put the item out next to the trash cart on the night before the regular collection day, not inside the cart, and keep the cart itself clear so the automated arm can reach it. A mattress or box spring has to be wrapped in plastic and taped shut before it goes to the curb, because the city treats an unwrapped one as littering that can draw citations and fines.
Electronics go to the year round drop-off that Green Youngstown administers through the county Green Team, and registration is required before the vehicle arrives. Every television and monitor carries the published fee and other electronic items are free. Household chemicals wait for one of the special drives Green Youngstown holds, and neither stream ever goes in the trash cart or the recycling bin.
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.

How does trash collection work in Youngstown?+
The city collects residential garbage with a city issued 96-gallon cart and an automated truck. Bag the trash and put it inside the cart, set the cart out facing forward at the curb the night before the collection day, and leave room around it so the mechanical arm can reach the cart. Loose trash, hot coals or burning ash, construction remodeling or demolition trash, and auto parts, tires and batteries are all barred from the cart.Official guidance
Which holidays change the Youngstown trash schedule?+
The city observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day for trash purposes, and the 2026 schedule sets out which routes run a day late on each of those weeks. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Juneteenth, Columbus Day and Veterans Day are published as not observed, so the sanitation department follows the regular collection schedule on those days.Official guidance
How do I put a couch or heavy appliance out in Youngstown?+
Put it next to your trash cart. The city's 96-gallon cart guide instructs households to place furniture and heavy appliances out beside the cart, so the item rides the regular collection rather than a separate bulky appointment. Keep the cart itself clear of the item so the automated arm has room, keep the item out of the cart, and remember that construction remodeling or demolition trash is on the cart's do-not list.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a mattress in Youngstown?+
Wrap it in plastic and tape it shut, then put it at the curb on your regular collection day. The city's mattress sheet states that the trash service will take mattresses and box springs when they are wrapped and taped, and that placing one at the curb unwrapped is littering that can draw citations and fines. The wrap is also what the city asks for to stop the spread of bed bugs, and sanitation answers questions on (330) 742-8800.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator or another large appliance go in Youngstown?+
Next to your trash cart on the regular collection day, because the city's cart guide instructs households to put furniture and heavy appliances out beside the cart. The appliance never goes inside the cart, which bars auto parts, tires and batteries, and the city does not publish a refrigerant rule for this route, so call Public Works on (330) 742-8800 if the unit still holds refrigerant. Green Youngstown also runs an annual appliance recycling drive.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Youngstown?+
To the year round electronics recycling drop-off that Green Youngstown administers through the Mahoning County Green Team. Registration is required and a vehicle arriving without registering will not be serviced, the service is for households rather than businesses or organizations, every television and monitor carries the published fee, and all other electronic items are accepted free of charge. Call Green Youngstown on (330) 744-7526 to register.Official guidance
What does Youngstown charge for trash and bulky items?+
The city publishes no per household collection rate, so confirm any account charge with Public Works on (330) 742-8800. Furniture, heavy appliances and a wrapped mattress go out with the service beside the cart at no separately published charge, and curbside recycling bins are free from the Green Youngstown office. The one money figure in the program is the minimum service charge of 500 dollars that Section 979.05 allows for removing a waste set over 20 cubic yards, and the electronics drop-off charges a fee for each television and monitor while taking other electronics free.Official guidance
What will Youngstown not take?+
Loose trash, hot coals or burning ash, construction remodeling or demolition trash, and auto parts, tires and batteries are all barred from the city trash cart, and construction debris sits outside the ordinance definition of waste the city collects, which leaves it with the household or contractor. Tires have to go to a regulated and licensed facility rather than the city. Household chemicals wait for one of the special drives Green Youngstown holds, and a waste set over 20 cubic yards falls under the excessive quantity ordinance with its minimum service charge.Official guidance
Who runs garbage and recycling in Youngstown?+
The Public Works Department runs residential garbage collection and sits on the fifth floor of City Hall at 26 South Phelps Street, reached at (330) 742-8800 with weekday hours and a separate line at (330) 742-8890 for missed pickups and cart problems. Green Youngstown, a division of the Youngstown City Health District that works with the Mahoning County Solid Waste District Green Team, administers recycling, litter and illegal dumping enforcement, and its office is at 9 West Front Street on (330) 744-7526.Official guidance
Where do I get a recycling bin in Youngstown?+
The bins are free at the Green Youngstown office, 9 West Front Street, open Monday through Friday, and the city runs a single stream program so the accepted material goes in one bin without sorting. Cartons, food and beverage glass, metal cans, paper and plastic bottles are the curbside material, while corrugated cardboard goes to a Mahoning County Green Team drop-off centre instead. Call Green Youngstown on (330) 744-7526 with questions or to report a missed recycling pickup.Official guidance
