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.

The Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District’s efforts to promote proper recycling at its 45 public drop-off sites has been catching residents attention for a while, and also recently caught the attention of the Ohio EPA (OEPA). The Solid Waste District’s successful ongoing campaign was featured in the OEPA’s “Scraps of Wisdom” winter newsletter, which shares program highlights, best practices, and case studies for solid waste management districts and local health departments.” To read the full version of the OEPA newsletter article CLICK HERE
This year’s Adams County tire collection day will be held on Wednesday October 19, 2022 from 10AM – 6PM at the Adams County Waste and Recycle Station, located at 95 Trefz Road, West Union, Ohio 45693.
This event is a good opportunity for residents to dispose of up to 10 scrap tires that were accumulated from personal use, illegally dumped on their property, or were on their property when they purchased it. Tires can only be accepted from Clermont County or Adams County households only, meaning no tires from businesses (auto dealers or repair shops, trucking companies, etc.) will be accepted.
A disposal fee for each tire will be collected (in cash) from the resident at the time of unloading. Disposal fees are as follows:
| TIRE TYPE | FEE |
| standard passenger car/truck tire | $1.00 |
| semi truck/trailer tire | $10.00 |
| tractor tire (larger than 4 feet in diameter must be cut) | $20.00 |
| rubber tracks | not accepted |
Tires mounted on rims will be accepted, but please keep them separated from the off-rim tires in your vehicle for ease of sorting at the drop-off site. No additional fees will be imposed for rims. Rubber equipment tracks (from skid steers, etc.) cannot be accepted.
Important note: Residents will be responsible for unloading all tires they bring to the drop-off site – it is recommended that you bring someone to help you unload.
Although the Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District has been able to hold tire collection events at various locations throughout the county for the past several years, there is no guarantee that funding will be available for future events. Most tire retailers and tire installers will gladly accept and properly dispose of your scrap tires for a small fee. We highly encourage you to take advantage of their services in the future when you purchase new tires. Tires can also be disposed of year round at the Adams County Waste and Recycle Station (95 Trefz Road, West Union, Ohio 45693) for only 12 cents per pound.
If you have any questions regarding this event please call Doug Snyder at (513)732-7744 or email at dsnyder@ClermontCountyOhio.gov
