Trash Collection in Fairborn
The City of Fairborn and Waste Management
have partnered to provide the residents of Fairborn a
new solid waste and recycling program that will help
keep the City “Cleaner and Greener”! Residents will
now have trash with a lidded and wheeled 96-gallon
cart as well as a 64-gallon recycling cart also with lid
and wheels. This new program will greatly enhance
the City’s ability to recycle more by increasing the
current recycling bin capacity while reducing litter
that can be generated from cans and bins without
lids.
For more information on other services, contact
Utilities Billing at 754-3007.
Holiday Schedule
Trash collection will be delayed by one day when
the regular Monday pickup day falls on an observed
