Trash collection in Mason is contracted to Rumpke and is negotiated by the city on behalf of all residents. The trash collection fee of $14.35 per residential unit is included on your monthly utility bill.

Trash Tips

• To provide adequate time for collection, trucks may start at 5 a.m.
• Please set your garbage out at the curb after 6 p.m. on the night before your scheduled pickup day.
• Trash is collected on regular routes, Monday through Friday. The only days trash will not be collected are Christmas and New Year’s Day. Customers whose regular collection day is on one of these holidays or later that same week will have their trash picked up a day later.
