City of South Lebanon curbside trash collection
Households in the City of South Lebanon, Warren County, which became a city on October 21, 2021. The owner of any multi-tenant structure must provide proper trash receptacles. City offices are at (513) 494-2296.
The last date published for this was Oct 21, 2021, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
"Trash is collected each Thursday. Place trash receptacles out the night before (Wednesday) after 6:00 p.m." The exception is Arbors at Grandin Pond, collected on Friday, where receptacles go out on Thursday nights. All trash, receptacles and recyclables are set along the curbside. The wrapping rule is the city's own, set by Ordinance No. 2013-01, which requires "completely wrapping with plastic any bedding items such as mattresses, box springs, bed frames, comforters, mattress covers, pillows, sheets and cases, carpeting and carpet padding; draperies and curtains, furniture; or, items of any kind partially or wholly consisting of upholstery" - applied where the refuse collector's rules require wrapping. All trash receptacles must be removed from the curbside before sunset on the day of collection, and anything the collector does not take must be removed from the curb and disposed of otherwise or concealed by sunset. The fine for violating the ordinance is no more than $100.00 for each offense plus court costs, and each day of violation is a separate offense.
Not confirmed: The city does not name its refuse collector, publish a monthly rate, or set any bulk or large item allowance, limit, notice period or fee

What Warren County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across South Lebanon and its neighbors.
- The Warren County (Ohio) Solid Waste Management District's own Recycling Outlets directory - the county's item-by-item list of where to take things, covering appliances, electronics, batteries, furniture and many other materials - has no entry for mattresses and lists no county drop-off, landfill or transfer station that takes them. The district runs no landfill or transfer station of its own; residents self-hauling a mattress use private facilities (Rumpke transfer stations serve the county). District contact: 513-695-1209, Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress outlet and no mattress fee.
- The Warren County (Ohio) Solid Waste Management District, which has administered the county's solid waste and recycling programs since December 1993, publishes only collection events and special programs: tire collection events, shred and electronics recycling, Freon appliance drop-offs, fire extinguisher recycling and lithium battery drop-offs. There is no county bulky-item or mattress collection and no county amnesty day for mattresses; curbside bulky pickup in Warren County is a matter for each city or township and its hauler. District contact: 513.695.1209 / 513.695.1210. Source
Ohio mattress disposal rules
- Primary names Harvard Avenue Transfer Station at 3227 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights OH 44105; district calls it Harvard Road at 3227 Harvard Road. Same number, city and operator support an identity candidate, but street suffix discrepancy retained. Source
- Hamilton municipal FAQ says transfer-station large-item intake Monday–Saturday. Existing Rumpke operator-locator staging record 07c7c0690194a830d775d57e lists Monday–Friday 8am–3:45pm at the same 1000 N Third Street address and phone 513-867-8661. This is an hours discrepancy, not grounds to merge unrelated branches. Source
- Ohio EPA Solid Waste Management District Locator (GIS app): select a county to see its Solid Waste Management District; the underlying layer covers all 88 counties. SWMDs are the local contact for recycling and disposal. Source
- Ohio EPA's "Where to Recycle" page names the three statewide tools it offers residents: the Ohio EPA Recycling Directory (a searchable directory of service providers who volunteered to be listed), the solid waste management district locator map, and the Ohio Materials Marketplace for businesses. It states that recycling and litter prevention activities are controlled locally through the county's solid waste management district, which "can help with information such as ... where to take hard to recycle items". Note the agency site now serves these pages under the /wps/portal/gov/epa/ path; the bare /divisions-and-offices/... URLs 404 when requested directly. Source
- The Ohio EPA Recycling Directory is hosted on RecycleSearch (Re-TRAC) and is searchable by free text or by pre-set material categories after setting a location. Its own text says results may include curbside recycling programs, drop-off recycling locations, reuse stores and other service providers, and that listing is not an endorsement. Its FAQ states the directory "is in the process of being populated" and that some areas of the state may have no information available, directing residents to their local solid waste management district instead. Listings are managed by Ohio EPA and the districts. Source
- No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Ohio EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments and county solid waste management districts. The agency's own site search for "mattress" returns only 4 resources, none of them mattress-related (Revised Total Coliform Rule, Underground Injection Control, operator exam information and a Trauma Scene Clean-Up fact sheet). The Materials and Waste Management division pages cover solid waste, infectious waste, scrap tires and C&DD, with no mattress or bulky-item program. Source
- Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Ohio is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Ohio. Source
