Trash Collection

Curbside Guidelines

• To schedule a bulk pickup, please contact Rumpke at least 48 hours before your regularly scheduled collection to request a large item pick-up for acceptable large items, and/or excessive amounts of trash. Any mattress or upholstered furniture must be completely sealed in disposable plastic for removal. Additional fees may apply. Television sets cannot exceed 32 inches for curbside pick-up. 
• Trash/recycling must be placed curbside the night before your scheduled collection. Drivers may not return to residences if materials are unprepared at the scheduled collection time.
• Rumpke’s service includes collection of six, 32-gallon cans or bags per pick-up (may vary by service region). Cans and bags should not exceed 50 pounds. Please do not place trash at the curb in boxes. All boxes should be broken down and bundled. Rumpke is not responsible for damaged or missing plastic cans or lids.
• Freon containing appliances require special handling procedures prior to pick-up. Please complete a refrigerant recovery statement and contact Rumpke for more details.
• According to Federal law, Rumpke is not permitted to accept batteries, tires, liquids, combustible materials or any items identified as hazardous.
• Bulky materials including drywall, concrete, bricks, dirt or rocks are not acceptable.
• Drums, barrels, yard and household containers are not acceptable trash containers and will be assumed trash if placed at the curb.
• Rumpke is not responsible for damage beyond the curb line.
• Landlords may be held responsible for service of rental supplies.

Items That Should Never Go In Your Trash

• Propane tanks
• Pool chemicals
• Lithium ion batteries

While Rumpke is Bexley's waste and recycling hauler, your quarterly refuse bills will come directly from the City of Bexley, combined with your quarterly water bill. 

If you've recently moved to Bexley or changed addresses, please call the Bexley Water Department at (614) 559-4270 to set up your account for water and refuse billing.

Residents 60+ years of age are eligible to receive a 10% discount on the refuse portion of their quarterly refuse and water bill. The individual on file must be the head of the household or the account holder. Along with the application form (link below), we will need a copy of the account holder's drivers license, or any identification, that has the birthdate and proof of address.

To apply for a discount, please complete this form.

Completed forms can be emailed to to jmercurio@bexley.org, or dropped off in-person at Bexley City Hall, 2242 E. Main Street, Bexley, Ohio 43209.

Available for purchase at Bexley City Hall, we offer residents toters at a subsidized cost. We accept cash or check only – please make checks payable to 'City of Bexley'.

Residents can now report a missed trash, recycling, yard waste, or compost pickup on their computer, smartphone, or tablet.

To report a missed pickup online:

• Step 1: Visit bexley.org/reportamiss, or click the 'Report a Trash Miss' button on our homepage
• Step 2: Enter your information, including an email address or phone number if your report requires follow up
• Step 3: Press the 'Submit Report' button at the bottom of the page

Once an online report is made, the City immediately receives the information provided in the form. From there, we'll be able to send the report to the appropriate service provider–Rumpke or Earth Peak–for pickup. If you'd like to report your miss over the phone, that's fine too! This new service is not mandatory for reporting.
