5 rules for unincorporated Butler County, Ohio.
Verified from official government sources
Butler County does not run collection countywide. Fairfield, Hamilton, Middletown, Monroe, Oxford, Trenton, and Ross and West Chester Townships include weekly curbside recycling with trash service (Rumpke). Other townships arrange service privately; the county district coordinates programs.
Butler County sets no countywide bin-placement rule. Set-out timing and curb placement follow your city ordinance or Rumpke's collection guidelines. In curbside cities, residents use 95-gallon Rumpke carts placed at the curb on collection day.
Butler County's Recycling & Solid Waste District offers free or low-cost programs for special items: Freon appliances, computers and TVs, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, and plastic plant pots. Curbside bulk pickup is arranged through your city or Rumpke.
Recycling is voluntary for households; no county law forces you to recycle. In curbside cities the Rumpke single-stream program accepts paper, cardboard, plastic bottles/jugs/tubs, cartons, glass, and metal cans. Batteries, bulbs, and hoses must stay out of the cart.
Illegal dumping is banned statewide. ORC 3734.03 prohibits disposing of solid waste by open dumping, and ORC 3767.32 bars depositing litter on any public or private property. Open dumping is a serious offense enforced by Ohio EPA and local authorities.
ORC 3734.03
No person shall dispose of solid wastes by open burning or open dumping, except as authorized by the director of environmental protection in rules adopted in accordance with division (V) of section 3734.01, section 3734.02, or sections 3734.70 to 3734.73 of the Revised Code.
