Refuse & Recycling Service Overview

Since 1992, the City of Upper Arlington has utilized its Trash Sticker Program as part of its commitment to developing innovative ways to reduce the waste stream. While maintaining recycling collection services at no additional charge, residents are encouraged to improve their recycling habits and maintain control of their refuse removal costs.

Annual Service Fee
All households are charged an annual service fee of $30, payable in advance each spring. This fee applies to every household - including single family homes, apartments and condominiums. The annual service fee runs April 1 through March 31 each year. The annual service fee has been established to spread the costs for providing all components of Solid Waste to the community more evenly across the community.

Optional "at-the-door" Premium Service
Households wishing to have "at-the-door" refuse collection can choose Premium Service on their annual invoice for an additional $150, bringing their total annual bill to $180. These households must still bring recycling to the curb on the regular collection day, and yard waste to the curb on Fridays. To guarantee Premium Service, residents must remit their payment in full by the due date posted on their invoice.

Solid Waste Stickers
Solid Waste stickers cost $2.40. Solid Waste stickers must be used for both refuse and yard waste, with recycling materials collected at no additional charge.

• CVS Pharmacy at Five Points, and Henderson Road
