Is there a charge to drop off yard waste?
Columbus area: If you a resident within the Solid Waste Authority district (basically Franklin County) and the yard waste is coming from your own house then there is no charge. If you live outside the district you can still bring your yard waste to us but must inform the scale operator that the material originated outside the district. You may also be subject to a $16 per ton tip fee. If you are a landscaper or another business that is getting paid to remove the yard waste then you are required to pay a $6 per ton tip fee. There is a minimum $6 fee for up to the first ton and then it is rounded to the nearest quarter ton. Cleveland Area: Yardwaste may be dropped off at any of our Cleveland store and production locations for a nominal fee, and tree trimmings for FREE* at our Bridgeview, Avon and North Royalton production sites.* Limited to tree branches, brush, etc.
