Yard & Organics RecyclingIf you are interested in having yard waste collected separately from your trash, Waste Management offers a subscription based yard waste program for residents.

The Yard & Organics Recycling program does have a separate monthly fee that will be billed directly to the resident, apart from their utility billing.

Fairborn does not offer a curbside leaf pickup program. Please do not rake leaves into the street (Ordinance 917.07(b).

Trash Collection in FairbornThe City of Fairborn and Waste Management offer a solid waste and recycling program that helps keep the city “Cleaner and Greener”. Residents receive a lidded and wheeled 96-gallon cart as well as a lidded and wheeled 64-gallon cart. The program greatly enhances the city’s ability to recycle more by increasing the current recycling bin capacity while reducing litter generated from cans and bins without lids. Issues regarding waste and recycling pick up can be addressed by calling 937.754.3098. For any billing issues, please call Utility Billing at 937.754.3007.
