Summary

Canton residents may set out two large items per week (such as furniture) on their regular collection day at no extra charge. Bulky white goods like refrigerators, stoves, and water heaters may be placed at the curb no sooner than 24 hours before collection.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Stark County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Two (2) large items per week (i.e. furniture) may be placed at curb side on regular collection day at no additional charge.

Full Breakdown

Bulk-waste service is provided by your municipality or hauler, not Stark County. In Canton, up to two large items per week (for example, furniture) may be placed at the curb on the regular collection day at no additional charge. Bulky waste including refrigerators, stoves, water heaters, and other white goods must be set at the curb no sooner than 24 hours before collection. If a move or cleanout generates more than two bulky items, a dumpster is required. Larger volumes and construction debris are handled at recycling-district drop-off centers such as the Canton Recycle Center.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding two bulky items without a dumpster, or setting bulk waste out more than 24 hours early, is a violation subject to Canton's sanitation fines.
