Refuse Collection
For the collection schedule please refer to the  maps section of this website.

The City of Euclid is currently under contract with Kimble Companies for Automated collection/disposal of refuse and recyclable materials. Informational materials and approved containers (dark green 95 gallon two wheeled can for rubbish and a bright green 65 gallon two wheeled can for recyclable materials) were distributed to all residents receiving curbside pick-up.

Please place trash and recyclable cans on the tree lawn after 6:00 p.m. during daylight savings time the day before your collection (after 4:00 p.m. during standard time), or before 7:00 a.m. the day of your collection. If placed out any earlier, you will be in violation of Ordinance #941.05 which includes a $75.00 fine. This will be strictly enforced. Collection may take place anytime between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Empty cans are not permitted to remain in the front of any building or residence for a period in excess of twelve hours from the time of collection (Ordinance #186-1969 – Passed 9/2/69).

Recycling is picked up weekly on your regular trash day. Recyclable items do not have to be separated – they can be co-mingled.  Acceptable items include: milk/juice cartons, plastic bottles & containers; brown, clear or green glass; aluminum, tin or bi-metal cans; newspaper, magazines, corrugated cardboard, telephone books, catalogues, cereal boxes (pull out the liner); printer or copier paper and junk mail. Boxes should be flattened and bundled together and placed next to the recycling can, if they don’t fit inside the can.  Items that are not acceptable include: Styrofoam, plastic bags or toys, batteries, light bulbs, wax cartons, wire hangers, aluminum foil, shrink wrap, books, motor oil and antifreeze containers.   

Kimble does not operate on the following Holidays:

New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

If a Holiday falls on a weekday, service for that day and the rest of the week will be delayed by one day. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, your collection day will not be delayed (collection day will remain the same).

Residents can still drop off paper products at the various Abitibi recycling sites (green and yellow bins) which contribute a portion of the profits to charity. Aluminum cans are also collected at Fire Station #1, 775 East 222^nd Street and benefits the Metro Health Burn Unit. Compact Florescent Bulbs can be recycled at the Home Depot, 877 East 200^th Street in Euclid.
