The COVID-19 pandemic changed consumers shopping habits, creating a boom for online retailers that hasn’t slowed down. Corrugated cardboard currently represents 80% of the packaging used for online orders, meaning the demand for cardboard is as high as it has ever been.
Recycled cardboard is used to make cereal boxes, paperboard, paper towels, writing paper, and of course, more cardboard boxes. It is important that you are doing your part to recycle it properly. Remember to keep boxes empty, flat and clean. Boxes with packing material can’t be sorted at the recycling facility, so packing materials such as Styrofoam, plastic bags and wrap must be removed in advance. Cardboard boxes also need to be broken down prior to placing them in your the recycling container. This will make the cardboard less likely to get stuck in your curbside bin, and will save valuable space in your bin or community drop-off container.
The Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District is tasked with preparing and implementing the Solid Waste Management Plan for Clermont and Adams Counties. The Solid Waste District is responsible for designating landfills with enough disposal capacity for waste generated in Adams and Clermont counties, providing enough recycling opportunities for 80% of the population, managing scrap tire disposal and illegal dumps, litter clean-up activities, recycling and litter prevention education, and household hazardous waste disposal.
Several townships in Clermont County host clean-up events annually, also known as “junk days”, where residents can drop off furniture, debris, or other large items that are typically difficult to dispose of. These events are funded entirely by the hosting township as a service to their residents.
Hazardous waste, paint, and tires are not accepted at these events. For information about household hazardous waste or paint disposal, CLICK HERE. Some townships have additional restrictions on the type or amount of items a resident can bring, and some townships require mattresses to be wrapped in plastic prior to disposal. Please contact the hosting township for additional information.
Each event is only open for residents of the hosting township – proof of residency will be required.
Please review the list below to see if the township in which you reside is hosting an event. This list will be updated as more events are scheduled.
