Refuse/Recyling/Yard Waste
REFUSE, RECYCLE & YARD WASTE BAG TIPS
- Please report issues with toters or yard waste bags not being emptied or picked up by Wednesday morning at the latest to Republic or Public Service so arrangements can be made for Republic to come back Wednesday afternoon. There is no guarantee of pickup after Wednesday.
- Toters should always be placed out before 7:00 AM on day of pick up or the evening before. Routes can be different every week and this will reduce missed pick-ups.
- Furniture, TV’s, mattresses, appliances, carpet, and other large items are defined as “bulk items” and require a “bulk tag”. These tags can be purchased at Churchill’s or Rite Aid in Maumee for $15 for one (1) or three (3) for $30. They must be attached and visible to the driver for pick up and you must contact Republic to schedule pick up of the bulk item (800-234-3429).
- Please try to avoid getting furniture and mattresses wet if possible. Soaked bulk items make pick up for drivers very difficult and may delay pick up.
- If you have additional bags that will not fit in your black trash tote you may place them next to the tote for pick up if you purchase “bag tags” at Churchill’s or Rite Aid in Maumee for $3.50 each. They must be attached and visible to the driver for pick up.

Fall Leaf Pick Up
The 2022 leaf collection for Maumee residents will begin the week of October 17 in District A, B & C. The City is divided into four districts. If there is a significant drop prior to the posted schedule, the City may begin work earlier.
On-street parking and portable basketball hoops cause problems in collecting leaves. Please avoid parking on the street and move your basketball hoop to your driveway when your district is scheduled for collection.
During the leaf collection season, leaves, NOT grass or sticks, should be placed behind the curb or just off the edge of the pavement on uncurbed streets, within six (6) feet of the pavement, in front of your own property, by the Sunday before the district’s pick-up week. Property owners must obtain another property owners permission to deposit leaves on adjacent property. It may take two passes to pick up all the leaves.
Do not place leaves on the pavement as they could block and plug sewers.
FINAL CITY-WIDE CLEAN-UP – NOVEMBER 28 – DECEMBER 2, 2022
All dates are approximate and subject to change.
Leaves put out after final clean-up will not be picked up and the homeowner will be responsible for removal.
