Waste
collection routes are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Holidays, falling on a regularly scheduled
day, will be rescheduled for Monday or Friday. You will
be given a notice of change by your route driver and a
notice will appear in the Indian Hill Bulletin.
Below is a list of guidelines that should be followed
for proper waste disposal:
Trash should be bagged and placed in closed containers
with no larger than a 32 gallon capacity weighing
no more than 50 pounds when full. Rumpke and BFI toters
are UNACCEPTABLE and will not be emptied by Village
collection
personnel.
Only ordinary household waste will be accepted
on regular collection days. No paints, batteries,
yard trash, tires, chemicals, or construction trash
of
any kind is acceptable.
Large quantities of trash and bulk items such
as furniture, boxes or appliances will be handled
as a special pickup (Please see guidelines
under "Special
Pickups").
It is your responsibility to keep trash easily accessible
for collection personnel. Trash collection cannot be made if driveways
are blocked
or access to your
cans is impeded. If you anticipate a problem, please set your trash
out in an area past any obstruction.
If you choose to keep the trash
in your garage please keep the area surrounding your
trash open from vehicles and free of any obstructions
that may prove
hazardous to collection personnel. Also be sure to keep items not
intended to be thrown
away a safe distance from your trash cans so that they are not
mistakenly taken as trash.
Due to the limited hauling
capacity of our collection vehicles, we ask that
all large cardboard boxes be broken down before placing
them out
for disposal.
Please do not use boxes to hold trash (they break easily especially
when wet). Styrofoam peanuts used as packing material should
be
placed
in
a separate sealed
bag to avoid spillage.
All medical waste should be properly identified
before placing out for disposal. Syringes must be
placed in Sharps containers
or other
non-penetrable
containers
before discarding. Should you have any questions regarding
medical waste, please contact the Service Department.
Because
of danger to Collection Personnel as well as a risk
of injury to family pets, dogs should be confined on regularly
scheduled
collection
days. (Please
keep in mind that invisible fencing does not necessarily
keep dogs from being at risk.)
If a regular scheduled
collection day falls on a holiday look for a notice
in the Indian Hill Bulletin for rescheduling
information
or
view the
holiday schedule below. Notices will also be passed out
by collection personnel.
Special Pickups
Items such as moving boxes, cleaning trash,
carpeting, and appliances must be placed where they
are easily accessible
to collection personnel. All appliances containing Freon,
such as air conditioners, freezers and refrigerators
must have the Freon professionally drained and be properly
tagged before they may be removed by the Public Works/Service
Department. Carpeting must be cut into lengths no larger
than 6 feet long. Large quantities of moving boxes should
be broken down and stacked for easy removal. In order
for the Public Works/Service Department to accept cans
of paint, they must be either completely dry or empty.
To dry unused paint, simply add floor dry or cat litter
material to absorb the paint and dry it out. After the
paint has solidified, we can properly dispose of it.
Charges for the above services are based on a fee of
$70.00 per hour with a minimum charge of $10.00 for the
first 15 minutes and $20.00 for each additional 15 minutes
thereafter. To request a special pickup please call the
Public Works/Service Department at 831-3712.

Special
note to all residents having any building or remodeling
done...
Due to E.P.A. Regulations and landfill restrictions,
no remodeling trash, lumber, wooden fencing or construction
material of any kind will be disposed of by the Public
Works/Service Department.
These materials must be hauled away by the contractor,
or placed in a dumpster trailer. The Public Works/Service
Department is not responsible for the hauling of these
materials regardless of who is doing the work.
