Clean Hard Fill

​Clean hard fill consists only of reinforced or non-reinforced concrete, asphalt concrete, brick, block, tile, and /or stone. This material can be used for various purposes, such as changing grade or being recycled to be used for new construction material. All persons engaging in filling or storing clean hard fill are required to submit a Notice of Intent to Fill to the TCHD Solid Waste Division prior to placement of the material. Please see the attached guidance document from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the TCHD Solid Waste Code for more information.

Yard Waste

​Yard waste is vegetative waste that includes leaves, grass clippings, brush, tree trunks, etc. and is a large part of the waste stream. TCHD strongly encourages residents to avoid throwing yard waste in with your household garbage. Composting is the ideal method for disposal of yard waste, as throwing it away or illegally dumping/burning it wastes valuable landfill space and can cause other environmental issues, such as leachate runoff, pest harborage and reduced air quality. TCHD urges the community to consider composting yard waste that you generate on your property, leaving grass clippings on your lawn, or taking your yard waste to a registered yard waste collection/composting facility for proper disposal.
