Brownhelm Township Recycling And Trash Program
Household Trash Dumpsters (Twp. Residents Only)
Dumpsters are available twice per year and can be found at the Township Garage at 1360 Claus Road in Vermilion. Commercially generated trash is not permitted. There is a limit of one pickup-truck or equivalent per household. Trash may be deposited in these on the first Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the first Saturday morning (after the first Friday) from 8:00 a.m. to noon of the months of May and October. NOTE: THE MAY 2020 COLLECTION WILL BE HELD AS NORMALLY SCHEDULED. SEE THE CURRENT EVENTS SECTION FOR DETAILS.
Recycling
Those residents who’ve contracted with Allied Waste/Republic Services [1-800-449-5463] for their weekly trash collection are provided with recycling containers for free. Items collected for recycling include newspapers, magazines, aluminum cans, glass, plastic bottles, and similar recyclables. Periodically The Lorain County Solid Waste Management District holds special events for the collection of items such as tires, oil, paint, and all hazardous waste. See their web site for details.
Curbside Trash Pickup Residents have the opportunity to choose their own refuse company which can be found in the Centurytel Yellow Pages under rubbish or garbage collection services.
Recycling Grant
Each year the Lorain County Solid Waste District awards a Community Incentive Grant. This grant is based upon the amount of recyclable waste collected in the previous year; the more recycled material collected the higher the grant. In 2020 Brownhelm Township was able to use this grant to purchase new sports team benches and picnic tables for the township parks.
