Per-item fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Published special-item fee source | Exact amounts below come from the authority facility brochure stored in January 2025, still consistent with the current hours page. The 2026 residential guide confirms material streams but does not republish a full price chart; confirm prices. |
| Cooling appliances and microwave | Brochure lists refrigerator/freezer/AC/dehumidifier and microwave $10 each; washers/dryers, stoves and water heaters no charge. Authority says certified technicians remove refrigerant. |
| TVs and monitors | CRT TV up to 32 inches $20; 33 inches and larger $30; other TVs under 21 inches $5, 21-31 inches $10, 32 inches and larger $15; wood console $30; monitor $3 or CRT monitor $20. |
| Tires | Brochure: up to 18 inches $3; tire on rim $5; semi off rim $8; oversized $0.20/lb. Ten-tire limit. Confirm classification. |
| Compost-yard drop-off | Brochure: bag $1, car $4, wagon/van/SUV $8, small pickup $10, full-size pickup $12, trailer/dump truck $16. Verify current load rate and November availability. |
Hazardous waste
No general HHW intake established at the National Parkway facility. Only specified batteries/bulbs and other listed streams are verified; paint, fuel, solvents and unknown chemicals require a separate appropriate program.
Holiday closures
Current staff-hours page announces closed November 11 for Veterans Day; facilities closed holidays, Sundays and Mondays. Verify Thanksgiving and adjacent-day schedule directly.

Other notes
- Do not confuse National Parkway collection/recycling with the separate Cairns Road compost facility or Rumpke transfer station on Newman Street. No ordinary garbage-dump service is established at National Parkway.
- Current staff page explicitly announces November 11 Veterans Day closure. Main website office hours Monday-Friday do not mean the disposal facilities are open Mondays; current facility notice says all Mondays closed.
- 2026 guide confirms accepted household recyclables plus separately sorted appliances, specified batteries, electronics, bulbs, tires and shredded paper. Glass food/beverage containers are accepted at the staffed facility; do not infer glass acceptance in every community box.
- Authority drop-box webpage has a broader current bottle/jug/tub and carton list than the narrower summary printed on page 4 of the 2026 guide. Follow current box signs; never put special waste or glass into a box unless expressly allowed.
- 2026 guide cover gives ZIP 44903, while facility page and most guide facility addresses give 44906. Street address agrees; this ZIP conflict is disclosed rather than silently inventing a different facility.
- The guide mentions Hefty ReNew orange bags for foam. Continued November 2026 local program availability was not independently confirmed, so no promise that loose foam or orange bags are currently accepted.
