Lima provides curbside recycling through the city Department of Utilities under its refuse, recycling and yard-waste contract. Recyclables are collected alongside garbage; the program serves all city residential customers and is coordinated with the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District.
Recycling collection in Lima is administered by the City Department of Utilities under its Refuse, Recycling and Yard Waste contract (current term Dec. 1, 2021 through Nov. 30, 2028). The city contract governs container types, accepted materials and set-out procedures rather than a stand-alone recycling mandate in the Codified Ordinances; Chapter 1052 governs collection and disposal generally. Regional recycling and yard-waste programs are coordinated with the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District. Residents should set recyclables out in the provided cart or program container on their scheduled collection day.
Non-conforming or contaminated set-outs may be left uncollected. General collection rules are enforced under Chapter 1052 and Property Maintenance Code sanitation provisions.
