Yard Waste Collection Service Information

The City of Cincinnati's Yard Waste Collection Service is managed by the Department of Public Services (DPS). A few things to know:

  • Yard waste is collected every-other-week beginning in April and continuing until January and is collected on the same day as your recycling.
  • Yard waste cannot be placed in your green recycling cart - it must be properly prepared in paper bags or container clearly labeled "Yard Waste".
  • You can learn what you can and can't have collected on the DPS website.
