TRASH AND CURBSIDE RECYCLE COLLECTION

TRASH COLLECTION SCHEDULE BY STREET 

The Township renewed trash and recycling services with Rumpke Waste and Recycling in 2022. In a joint bid with the Village of Richfield, the Township approved and entered into a three year contract with an option to extend for two additional years.  The Township and the Village of Richfield still remain as the few municipalities that continue to fund and manage this service for the residents.  The Township's 2023 cost for the contract is $207,030.
