The City of Cincinnati will collect yard waste along with solid waste on regularly scheduled collection days. All types of yard waste are accepted including grass clippings, leaves, branches and brush. Please follow the guidelines below.
Guidelines
- Place yard waste at your curb by 6AM on your regular trash collection day beside your household trash and green recycling bin.
- Branches and brush should be tied into bundles no larger than 2 ft. x 4 ft. and individual tree limbs should be no larger than 6 inches in diameter.
- Raking leaves into the street or right-of-way is prohibited and is PUNISHABLE BY LAW.
Composting
- Please compost yard waste at home whenever possible. Grass clippings can be left on the lawn instead of bagged. Plastic bags are not accepted at composting facilities.
