Solid Waste & Residential Trash Collection

Residential Trash Collection Richmond Sanitary District collects trash from residential customers once a week. All customers must have a Rosie Roller and are limited to 180 gallons of trash a week. We provide trash containers called Rosie Rollers. You may choose which size of Rosie Roller you would like to use; 32 gallon, 65 gallon or 90 gallon. There is no charge for the first Rosie Roller. If a second Rosie Roller is needed, there will be a $1.00 a month charge, which is added directly to your sewer/water bill each month. This charge covers all repairs and replacement, should your Rosie Roller be damaged or destroyed. If you would like more information on the Rosie Rollers call 765-983-7456.

Commercial Trash Collection Three Cubic Yard Containers (or dumpsters) are used by most of our business customers and by a few of our residential customers living in multi-family dwellings. Businesses and multi-family dwellings must pay a non-refundable lease charge of $80.00 per year for locking containers (cost subject to change). This charge covers the cost of container maintenance, and must be paid before the container will be delivered. If you need to lease a Three Cubic Yard Container for your business, apartment complex, or multi-family dwelling, stop by the Richmond Sanitary District at 2380 Liberty Avenue to sign an agreement and we will then visit the location and determine the best location for the container to be placed. Three Cubic Yard Containers are for regular household trash and office paper trash only. Please don't use these containers to dispose of tires, furniture, yard waste, construction materials (roofing, lumber, etc.), rocks, carpet, doors or dirt. If you have furniture or yard waste to dispose of, call our main office at 765-983-7450 and we will schedule a Special Pick-up. A reminder, special pick-ups are for residents only, not businesses. Richmond Sanitary District receives numerous complaints every year about trash that has been dumped next to these containers. This not only creates a trash mess, but the trash or bulky items may also block passage through an alley. A simple phone call before setting items out to be picked up, will alleviate these problems.

Roll-Off Containers Richmond Sanitary District leases large 14 cubic yard trash containers, called 'Roll-Offs' to our customers for general household trash or yard waste and brush. Roll-off containers are leased to residential customers for a charge of $10.00 as of 1-1-98 for approximately 2 days. The containers may also be leased by existing business (for yard waste and brush only), to be set at the business site, for the same fee. NO TIRES, CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION ITEMS MAY BE PUT INTO OUR CONTAINERS. This includes such items as roofing, concrete, glass, wood, pipe, plaster or drywall, etc. Payment must be made prior to scheduling the roll-off container. Payment can be made at our main office at 2380 Liberty Avenue or by phone with a Visa or Mastercard. All customers leasing a roll-off container will be asked to sign a Release of Liability form. If the form is not signed by the property owner, the container will not be set on private property. If making payment for the roll-off container over the phone, the container will not be set on private property. These containers are leased to help you dispose of general household trash OR yard waste. The two types of material can not be mixed. Roll-off containers are usually booked at least two weeks in advance! PLEASE PLAN AHEAD.Questions please call 765-983-7450.

Special Pick-Up Schedules The Richmond Sanitary District offers a service, at no cost, to pick up large items, brush, yard waste and some appliances for residential customers. To schedule a pickup call 765-983-7450. Our customer service personnel will be able to answer any questions you might have and tell you the day of your pickup. These items will be picked up only if they have been pre-scheduled. Each resident is limited to three bulky items per week. This includes such items as couches, chairs, bed frames, mattresses, etc. Limbs must be cut and tied into bundles. Other yard waste must be bagged or in a can with a 30 pound weight limit. Each resident is limited to 6 bags or bundles per week. Appliances are picked up at no charge to our customers. Items such as stoves, washers, dryers, and water heaters can be picked up by calling 765-983-7450. Each resident is limited to 3 items a week for special pick-ups. All special pick-ups are for residents only! The E.P.A. requires that the freon be removed from refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers before they can be disposed of. The charge for these appliances is $30.00 as of 1-1-98 and is subject to change. This charge covers the cost to have the freon removed and recycled. Even if an appliance no longer works or the freon has been drained out, a $30.00 fee will still be charged due to E.P.A. requirements. The fee must be paid before the appliance will be picked up. These appliances can also be disposed of at the New Paris Pike Landfill for the same freon removal fee. All special pickups require the resident to place the items to be picked up wherever their normal weekly trash is collected. Richmond Sanitary District employees are prohibited from entering residents property to pick up items.
