In Canton, residential waste must be at the curb no earlier than noon the day before pickup and no later than 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Waste set out after 6:00 a.m. may not be collected until the next week.
Trash collection is run by your municipality or hauler, not Stark County. The City of Canton Sanitation Department requires residential waste to be placed at the curb no earlier than noon the day prior to pickup and no later than 6:00 a.m. the day of collection, because crews begin routes at 6:00 a.m. Missed set-outs wait for the next weekly collection. Empty carts must be removed by 8:00 a.m. the following day. Outside Canton, communities such as Massillon, North Canton, and Jackson Township run their own schedules, many through private haulers coordinated with the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne recycling district.
Setting waste out before noon the prior day or leaving it past 8:00 a.m. the next day is a violation carrying a $25 fee added to the sanitation, water and sewer bill.
