Household rubbish collection is handled by a private company that contracts with the city to provide services on a weekly basis. All household rubbish is picked up once per week on Monday.
Household rubbish should be set out for curbside collection no later than 6 a.m. Monday morning. It can also be set out after 6 p.m. Sunday evening.
Food waste must be drained and placed in a plastic bag. Sharp items, broken glass, syringes, etc., should be placed in a separate container before placing in a bag or can.
Monday Collections are not made on the holidays listed below if they fall or are observed on a Monday.
Refrigerators, air-conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. require special treatment mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A certified contractor must remove the refrigerant and the appliance must be tagged to indicate this removal before these items can be placed on the curb for removal. Remember to remove refrigerator and freezer doors.
Latex paint can be included with regular household waste for curbside pick up. Leftover paint should be allowed to dry out in the can, or be thoroughly mixed with cat litter or sand before being placed in the trash in opened cans. Full containers of latex paint can be donated to charities that accept these products.
Household rubbish for curbside pickup should be placed within five feet of the curb in 20- to 35-gallon rubbish containers, or in plastic bags, not exceeding 50 pounds each in weight. Please refrain from putting broken glass, syringes or sharp objects loosely into plastic bags.
Hedge cuttings, limbs and branches should be securely tied, and not exceed four feet in length and 45 pounds in weight.
Building materials resulting from construction, remodeling, repair or demolition operations and large automotive parts generated by a residential unit are excluded from curbside pickup. Waste generated by commercial contractors is also excluded.
These items will be collected if placed properly for pickup:

Leaves are considered a solid waste and should be either recycled or disposed of properly to provide safe clean streets and to prevent issues within the stormwater drainage system. Traffic will be affected during leaf collection. Be patient and help us keep our crews safe.
Leaf pick up will begin October 16, 2023 for Middleburg Heights residents.
Residents can expect to receive a pick up every seven to ten days. At least four city wide, full service pick ups will be made throughout the season, (more if necessary.)
Service Department crews will collect leaves from mid-October into December, weather permitting. Residents may expect at least 4 collections per year, with 7 to 10 days between collections. Additional collections may be added based on need and weather conditions. Leaf piles blocked by vehicles or other obstructions will be picked up as part of the next collection cycle, or after the obstruction has been removed.
For your assistance, please refer to the Fall Leaf Pick Up DOs and DON’Ts:
DO Think SAFETY – children should NEVER play in leaves piled along the roadway – motorists and public service crews cannot see children hidden in leaves
DO be aware of work areas and reduce your speed when driving near leaf collection operations
DO place leaf piles on the tree lawn; behind the curb / edge of pavement without blocking the street or sidewalks
DO make sure leaf piles are close enough to the street for the collection equipment to reach them – generally, no more than 3 feet from curb
DO keep leaf piles away from any trees, bushes, mailboxes, decorations, street signs and / or fire hydrants
DO recycle on your property or bag your loose leaves whenever possible
DO NOT rake or blow leaves onto streets or sidewalks – leaf piles on the streets or sidewalks are a dangerous public safety hazard to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians
DO NOT mix sticks, trash, metal, heavy debris (concrete, bricks, blocks), or pet waste in leaf piles – other waste may damage our equipment, injure our crews / bystanders, and severely slow our progress
DO NOT block storm drains with leaf piles – this will block the drain and may cause flooding
DO NOT place holiday decorations within 10 feet of leaf piles
DO NOT park in front of leaf piles awaiting collection
DO NOT dump grass clipping in leaf piles
