​Solid Waste Program

​

​Under the authority of the Ohio Administrative Code 3745, the Tuscarawas County Health Department Solid Waste Program regulates the transportation, collection, storage, and disposal of solid wastes, construction, and demolition debris in order to protect public health, welfare, and to prevent unsanitary conditions and nuisances. 
ORC 3734: Solid and Hazardous Wastes

Solid Waste Hauling

​All individuals involved in solid waste collection and transportation must obtain a Waste Hauler Permit from TCHD. To find out about exemptions and additional requirements, please refer to the "Tuscarawas County Solid Waste Code" tab.
SOLID WASTE APPLICATION

Clean Hard Fill

​​Clean hard fill is made up solely of reinforced or non-reinforced concrete, asphalt concrete, brick, block, tile, and/or stone. This type of material can serve multiple functions, including altering grades or being recycled for new construction projects. Anyone involved in filling or storing clean hard fill must submit a Notice of Intent to Fill to the TCHD Solid Waste Division before placing the material. For further details, please refer to the attached guidance document from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the TCHD Solid Waste Code.

Yard Waste

​​Yard waste refers to organic materials like leaves, grass clippings, branches, and tree trunks, and it constitutes a significant portion of our waste. TCHD strongly advises residents against mixing yard waste with regular household trash. The best way to handle yard waste is through composting, as disposing of it in landfills or through illegal dumping and burning not only wastes precious landfill space but also leads to environmental problems like leachate runoff, pest attraction, and decreased air quality. TCHD encourages everyone to think about composting the yard waste produced on their property, leaving grass clippings on the lawn, or taking yard waste to a certified collection or composting facility for responsible disposal.
