Live Christmas Tree Recycling

Beginning December 25, and running until January 15, residents may drop off their live Christmas trees for recycling, from dawn until dusk, at the following location:

Colerain Senior & Community Center
4300 Springdale Road

Trees should not be wrapped in plastic or have anything attached to them. Township employees will chip the trees, and the chips will be available to residents as long as supplies last.

In August and September 2015, Colerain, Ross and Springfield townships voted to approve Rumpke as the official waste and recycling service provider for township residents. Rumpke service for residents in all three townships will begin April 1, 2016. Watch your mailbox for additional details from Rumpke and the townships. Please click here for contract FAQ’s.

Colerain Township offers residents several additional opportunities to recycle!

Effective April 1, 2016, recycling dumpsters are available behind our fire houses for those residents not participating in our residential recycling program. Pleasant Run Middle School, 11770 Pippin Road, has recycle dumpsters available for paper, plastic and glass! The dumpsters will be open year round, 24 hours a day. Drop-off sites will be located at 4200 and 4300 Springdale Road on the grounds of the Government Complex and Community Center. Dumpsters will be available for residents to dispose of unwanted household items. Personnel will be available to aid residents who need assistance. Please drive slowly and use caution while entering these areas and safely unload your vehicles. Persons dumping at anytime other than designated for this event will be subject to enforcement of the litter control laws for the State of Ohio. All participants must be residents of Colerain Township and provide proof of residency at the designated check point.

Latex Paint Disposal

Latex paint is not hazardous and can be safely thrown away with your regular trash once it is solid. Simply leave the lid off and mix in sand, sawdust, or kitty litter to speed up the process. Once it is solid, place the can next to your trash with the lid off so your waste hauler can see that it is dry.
