Barberton, Ohio provides trash and recycling collection services for residents through a contract with Kimble Recycling & Disposal. Here is an overview of the trash and recycling collection schedule, holidays, bulk items, yard waste, and other key details for Barberton residents.
Collection Days
Trash and recycling collection in Barberton occurs once per week on a regular schedule:
- Mondays: Wards 5 and 6
- Tuesdays: Wards 1 and 4
- Wednesdays: Wards 2 and 3
Please remember to place trash and recycling carts at the curb by 7:00AM on your scheduled collection day.
Holiday Schedule
If your normal collection day falls on or after these holidays, pickup will be delayed by one day that week:
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, collection will occur on the regular schedule without delays.
Bulk Items
Barberton residents can dispose of bulk items on their normal collection day. Bulk items include:
- Stoves
- Hot water tanks (with water removed)
- Washers
- Dryers
- Furniture
- Chairs
- Carpet (4 feet maximum length)
Mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture contaminated with bed bugs must be wrapped and sealed in plastic. Appliances with freon must have the freon removed and be tagged by a certified technician. Untagged appliances will be left and tagged for proper handling.
Keep bulk items at least 3 feet away from carts at the curb. If you have more trash than fits inside the 95-gallon trash cart, you can place bagged trash or bundles next to the cart on collection day. Bundles should not exceed 4 feet in length and 60 pounds.
The total volume of trash outside the cart, including bulk items, yard waste, and bags, cannot exceed 2 cubic yards (approximately 3 ft x 3 ft x 6 ft). Any materials above the 2 cubic yard limit will not be collected and must wait until the next collection day.
Recycling
Barberton uses single-stream recycling so all recyclables can be placed loose in your green recycling cart. No need to sort or bundle. Accepted recyclable items include:
- Paper and cardboard
- Aluminum cans
- Steel cans
- Plastic bottles and containers #1-7
- Glass bottles and jars
Check the Kimble Recycling Guide for full details on what you can and cannot recycle. Please do not bag recyclables or use the cart for trash overflow.
Yard Waste
Yard waste like leaves, grass clippings, and brush can be placed in trash cans or bags next to your cart on collection day. Make sure bags do not exceed 60 pounds.
The City of Barberton also provides loose leaf collection in the fall. Check the city website for the leaf collection schedule once available. Rake leaves in a row within 2 feet of the curb without blocking traffic.
