Trash, Recycling and Bulk Pickup in Dayton and Miami Valley Cities

Trash pickup works differently from one Miami Valley city to the next. Some cities run their own crews, some contract with one hauler for everyone, and some let residents pick their own. Here is what each city and township says about who collects, how to start service, recycling, bulk items, yard waste and holiday delays, each line linked to the city’s own page.
