Trash Containers & Garbage Bags
The city has a contract with Kimble Recycling and Disposal, Inc. for a semi-automated collection service. Each household within the City of Highland Heights has been issued a set of two, wheeled containers, one (dark green) for solid waste and one (bright green) for recycling.
All containers are registered by serial number and address and will remain the property of Kimble.
Trash & Recyclable Materials
Solid Waste:
Carts should be placed on your tree lawn or driveway within 2 to 3 feet of the street. The wheels and the hinge should face the sidewalk and the open end of the lid should face the street.
