Summary
Canton provides each residence a 95-gallon standard cart. The lid must close completely or an additional container is required, and carts sit at the curb or pavement edge so trucks can lift them. Stark County itself sets no countywide container rule.
The City of Canton has chosen to provide each residence with a 95 gallon standard cart. The lid of the 95 gallon cart must be able to close completely or an additional container must be used.
Full Breakdown
Trash-container standards are set by your city or hauler, not by Stark County. In Canton, the city issues each residence one 95-gallon standard cart that must be placed on the road next to the curb or edge of pavement so it can be moved to the rear of the truck. If the lid cannot close completely, residents must use an additional container. Nonbulky waste must be properly containerized or secured to prevent sewer blockage, traffic obstruction, littering, and food or harborage for animals, rodents, or insects. Empty carts must be pulled back from the collection site by 8:00 a.m. the day after pickup.
Violations & Fines
Improperly containerized or overfilled waste may not be collected; container and timing violations carry a $25 fee added to the combined sanitation, water and sewer bill.
