CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Chillicothe residents can look forward to large item trash pick-up beginning the week of May 29. The service allows residents to dispose of large items such as carpet, sofas, chairs, mattresses, and other furniture that may be difficult to remove otherwise.
According to city officials, paint cans will also be collected, but only if the paint has been dried out or mixed with sawdust. However, some items will not be permissible for pickup, including stoves, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, hot water tanks and heaters, old radios, computer equipment, air conditioning units, and televisions. In addition, construction materials from demolitions or remodeling, as well as tires, batteries, chemicals, and hazardous materials, will not be collected.
A schedule has been released outlining when large item pick-up will take place in each neighborhood. Residents are urged to consult this schedule to ensure that their items are picked up on the appropriate day.
