Other notes
- The county offers a network of 18 community boxes; this page groups selected large-city locations rather than creating repeated thin pages for each bin. Fairfield Municipal Building is 5350 Pleasant Avenue; Hamilton Fire Station 77 Pershing Avenue; Middletown Fire Station 1830 Yankee Road; Oxford Miami University Police site 4935 Oxford-Trenton Road.
- Accepted county list includes paper, flattened cardboard/paperboard, plastic bottles/jugs/tubs, cartons, glass bottles/jars, metal food/beverage cans and specified paper/plastic to-go cups. Remove straws; follow carton/glass-lid directions on county page.
- Do not put batteries, light bulbs, drinking glasses, hoses, coat hangers or aluminum foil in recycling boxes. A site being at a fire station or municipal building does not make it a HHW collection point.
- West Chester is directed to curbside service on the county page, with no local drop box listed. Do not send residents to the closed Keehner Park or old township drop-off centers based on third-party directories.
- County banner says Hefty ReNew ends February 2027. That notice is not a verification that every community box accepts orange bags; use only the ordinary materials specifically listed and confirm any special program separately.
- The county recycling office at 130 High Street, fifth floor, Hamilton is an administrative contact, not a resident garbage or hazardous-waste drop-off. The county hotline, not the generic government switchboard, is listed here.
