Regional Waste, Recycling & Special-Waste Resource Hub: Electronics + HHW (Tuesdays, Seasonal) + Recycling/Yard Waste (Mon–Sat) — Montgomery County Transfer & Recycling Facility — Moraine / Dayton Metro, OH
Regional resource information for electronics recycling,
household hazardous waste (HHW),
standard recyclables,
yard waste, and other approved materials at Montgomery County’s
Transfer & Recycling Facility in Moraine.
The facility can provide an important disposal option for qualifying
Montgomery County residents, particularly for household electronics,
HHW, recycling, and other materials that may not be accepted through ordinary
apartment trash service.
[1]
Property-manager distinction:
Resident programs should not automatically be treated as commercial or property-management disposal programs.
Materials generated by property operations, maintenance personnel, contractors,
renovations, landscaping crews, evictions, or other business activities may be subject
to different eligibility, rates, and disposal requirements.
The primary facility is:
Montgomery County Transfer & Recycling Facility (1001 Encrete Ln, Moraine, OH 45439)
.
[2]
Beginning in January 2026, Montgomery County requires truck and trailer loads entering the Transfer & Recycling Facility to be properly secured.
Open loads must be fully covered with a functioning tarp or similar device unless an applicable County exception applies.
[7]
The rule applies to loads entering the facility for disposal and also generally applies to loads headed to areas such as the
recycling canopy and yard-waste pad.
The County states that the requirement applies to
residents and commercial haulers.
[7]
Property-manager action:
Require maintenance staff, contractors, landscapers, porters, and other authorized transporters to confirm current load-securement requirements before using the facility.
Why This Works — Different Waste Streams, Different Rules
Electronics recycling:
Montgomery County offers qualifying electronics recycling to
Montgomery County residents for items such as computers, monitors,
televisions, phones, and other listed electronics.
[3]
HHW is scheduled:
Household hazardous waste is accepted only during the County’s published
Tuesday HHW program hours, which vary seasonally.
[4]
General facility operations:
The Transfer & Recycling Facility publishes separate operating hours and rates for
trash disposal, recycling, yard waste, appliances, construction/demolition waste, and other materials.
[5]
- Facility: Montgomery County Transfer & Recycling Facility [2]
- Address: 1001 Encrete Ln, Moraine, OH 45439 [2]
- General hours: Mon–Fri 6:00 AM–7:00 PM; Sat 8:00 AM–3:00 PM [5]
- Resident programs: Proof of Montgomery County residency may be required [3][4]
- 2026 vehicle rule: Open truck/trailer loads generally must be secured and fully tarped before entering [7]
Electronics Recycling: Free Resident Program for Qualifying Electronics
Accepted electronics:
Montgomery County lists items such as
computers, monitors, televisions, phones/cell phones, microwaves, copiers, cords, and certain small electronic appliances
among accepted materials.
[3]
Resident cost:
The electronics recycling program is advertised as
free for Montgomery County residents.
Proof of residency may be required.
[3]
Property-manager warning:
The free electronics program is a
resident program.
Property-generated electronics from offices, maintenance operations, renovations,
contractors, management cleanouts, or other business activities should be verified
with the County before transportation.
Household Hazardous Waste: Tuesday Program Hours — Residents Only
Strict schedule:
HHW is accepted only during Montgomery County’s designated HHW collection hours.
Do not transport household chemicals to the facility outside the published HHW schedule.
[4]
March–October:
Every Tuesday, 1:00 PM–7:00 PM
November–February:
First Tuesday of each month, 1:00 PM–7:00 PM
[4]
Examples:
The County lists qualifying materials that include categories such as
pesticides/herbicides, vehicle fluids, household cleaners, solvents, paint, and other household hazardous materials.
[4]
Montgomery County states that its HHW collection program is for
Montgomery County residents and that it
does not accept HHW from commercial customers or businesses.
[4]
Chemicals, solvents, fuels, pesticides, maintenance products, renovation materials,
contractor waste, or other hazardous materials generated through apartment-property
operations should not be routed through the resident HHW program.
Property management should use an appropriate commercial hazardous-waste provider
and verify applicable storage, transportation, and disposal requirements.
Paint Disposal: Small Quantities May Be Dried — Paint Is Also Accepted During HHW Hours
Small quantities:
Montgomery County states that paint other than lead-based paint is not treated as hazardous waste for this guidance.
For small quantities, residents may leave the lid off until the paint dries,
using absorbent material such as kitty litter or sawdust to speed drying,
and then dispose of the solidified material in ordinary trash in accordance with County instructions.
[4]
HHW option:
Montgomery County also lists
latex and oil-based paint
among materials accepted through its resident HHW program during designated program hours.
[4]
Property-generated paint:
Paint and coatings generated through property maintenance, contractors, renovations,
or other business activities should not automatically be routed through the resident HHW program.
Recycling & Yard Waste: Resident and Commercial Rules Differ
Residential recycling:
Montgomery County provides recycling drop-off opportunities for
County residents and publishes current accepted-material guidance.
[8]
Residential yard waste:
Clean, separated residential yard waste may qualify for free disposal when prepared
according to County rules, including loose/bulk material or approved paper yard-waste bags.
[8]
Contaminated or improperly bagged material:
Yard waste mixed with trash or placed in unapproved plastic bags may be subject to disposal charges.
[8]
Commercial landscaping distinction:
Property-manager or landscaper-generated yard waste should not automatically be treated as free residential yard waste.
The County publishes a separate
commercial yard-waste rate.
[5]
Appliances: Resident Benefits & Freon Rules
Freon-containing appliances:
Montgomery County publishes appliance-disposal and Freon-removal rules.
Current County information provides
free Freon removal for qualifying Montgomery County residents for up to five appliances per year,
subject to current program rules.
[5]
Non-resident / other disposal:
The County currently publishes a
$25 Freon-removal fee
for qualifying non-resident appliance disposal.
Rates and exemptions should be confirmed before transportation.
[5]
Trash, Furniture & Construction Debris: Disposal Fees Apply
Current Montgomery County trash rate:
The County currently publishes a base disposal rate of
$30.50 per ton,
plus applicable charges including an
OEPA fee of $4.75 per ton
and a
generation fee of $3.65 per ton,
along with applicable minimum or miscellaneous charges.
[5]
Commercial yard waste:
Current published rate:
$30 per ton.
[5]
Construction & demolition material:
Current published base rate:
$60 per ton,
plus applicable fees.
[5]
Property-manager takeaway:
Free resident recycling programs should not be confused with paid disposal of
furniture, unit-turn debris, renovation waste, landscaping material, or other
property-generated loads.
Dayton Resident Bulk Collection: Schedule in Advance
Scheduling:
The City of Dayton requires qualifying bulk collection to be
scheduled in advance
by calling
937-333-4800
or using the City’s online service system.
[6]
Collection limit:
Dayton currently limits qualifying resident bulk collection to
five large items and/or 25 small bags or boxes
per scheduled collection.
[6]
Mattresses:
Dayton requires mattresses and box springs to be
wrapped before collection.
[6]
The City of Dayton states that
items resulting from an eviction, move-out, or foreclosure will not be collected by the City and are the responsibility of the property owner.
[6]
Apartment owners and property managers should maintain a separate approved disposal or hauling procedure for
eviction debris, abandoned-property cleanouts, unit turns, move-outs, renovation debris, and other property-generated bulk material.
Resident bulk collection should not be represented as a property-management cleanout service.
Property Manager Operational Checklist — Dayton / Montgomery County
- Secure every transport load: Confirm the County’s 2026 tarp/load-securement requirement before sending any open truck or trailer to the facility.
- Separate resident programs from property-generated waste: Free electronics, HHW, recycling, and yard-waste programs may have residential eligibility restrictions.
- Do not use resident HHW for business waste: Property-maintenance, contractor, renovation, and management-generated hazardous materials require an appropriate commercial pathway.
- Establish a bulk / unit-turn procedure: Dayton does not collect items generated by evictions, move-outs, or foreclosures.
- Verify current disposal rates: Trash, C&D debris, commercial yard waste, appliances, and other streams may carry separate rates and fees.
- Right-size onsite collection: Maintain adequate trash and recycling capacity, service frequency, and resident instructions so the transfer station is not used as a substitute for the property's normal hauling arrangement.
- Document service: Maintain hauler agreements, service schedules, photos, contamination records, bulk-waste procedures, resident notices, and corrective-action records.
How We Solve This For You (National Doorstep)
Waste and recycling compliance is operational.
In the Dayton metro, National Doorstep helps property management standardize resident
set-outs, reduce overflow and contamination, communicate clear disposal expectations,
and move resident-setout materials to
property-designated containers on private property.
National Doorstep operates upstream from curbside or commercial hauling.
Our doorstep service does not replace the property's municipal or contracted
waste/recycling hauler and does not convert residential County programs into
property-management disposal programs.
For specialty materials, residents may have access to Montgomery County programs for
electronics, HHW, recycling, yard waste, and other qualifying materials,
while property-generated or commercial waste should be routed through the
appropriate property-level or commercial disposal channel.

Dayton-area apartment owners, asset managers, and on-site property managers: multifamily trash and recycling requirements vary by municipality, property type, and the property's actual collection arrangement. The City of Dayton operates residential waste and recycling programs, while the Montgomery County Solid Waste District provides regional disposal, recycling, electronics, household hazardous waste, yard-waste, and special-collection resources.
Current sources reviewed do not establish a countywide mandate requiring every multifamily property to provide onsite recycling. That does not eliminate property-level obligations. Owners and managers still need to verify municipal refuse rules, private-hauler contracts, container and enclosure standards, nuisance/property-maintenance rules, disposal eligibility, and special-waste restrictions applicable to each property.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY APC — MULTIFAMILY PROPERTY MANAGER INFORMATION
The Montgomery County Solid Waste District's Annual Property Charge (APC) is an assessment supporting Solid Waste District programs and services. It should not be characterized as a multifamily recycling mandate.
Current published multifamily classification: properties containing four (4) or more dwelling units are assessed at the County's published multifamily per-unit rate.
Current published multifamily rate: $20.25 per dwelling unit, subject to the County's current classification and eligibility rules.
Parcel qualification: County guidance states that the APC generally applies to parcels with an assessed building value of $10,000 or greater, subject to stated exclusions including federally owned property.
Property-manager action: Review the property's real-estate tax bill and County classification. Questions regarding unit counts, property classification, or the assessment itself should be directed to Montgomery County rather than treating the APC as a hauler charge.
- Confirm jurisdiction first: Dayton rules do not automatically apply to Kettering, Vandalia, West Carrollton, Centerville, Huber Heights, or another Montgomery County municipality.
- Confirm collection eligibility: Determine whether the property receives municipal service, contracted municipal service, or separately arranged private hauling before changing containers or recycling procedures.
- Right-size actual service: Use property-specific generation, pickup frequency, overflow history, contamination, move-out peaks, and hauler requirements rather than an unsupported generic gallons-per-unit benchmark.
- Separate resident programs from property waste: County electronics, HHW, recycling, and yard-waste programs can have residency restrictions and should not automatically be used for management, maintenance, contractor, renovation, or commercial waste.
- Document operations: Keep contracts, schedules, container maps, photos, resident notices, contamination reports, service tickets, and corrective actions.
DAYTON POLICY WATCH — COMMERCIAL RECYCLING
Dayton's sustainability planning has included consideration of a mandatory recycling rate for nonresidential/commercial entities. The City's published 2025 Sustainability Plan status describes that initiative as not implemented, with feasibility still being explored.
Property-manager takeaway: Treat this as a policy-development item, not a current recycling mandate. Do not tell residents, owners, or investors that Dayton has already enacted mandatory multifamily or commercial recycling unless a later ordinance is verified.
At a Glance: City of Dayton vs. Montgomery County
City of Dayton
- Multifamily recycling mandate: No general apartment-specific onsite recycling mandate was established in the City sources reviewed.
- City recycling program: Dayton waste-collection customers may request a City recycling cart. Multifamily owners/managers should confirm the property's existing City waste-service configuration and recycling eligibility before designing a property program around City carts.
- Do not assume universal multifamily eligibility: Dayton's own sustainability reporting tracks curbside participation separately from multifamily housing.
- Bulk waste: Eligible bulk collection must be scheduled. Property managers should separately address eviction, move-out, foreclosure, abandonment, and unit-turn waste.

Montgomery County Cities — Multifamily Recycling & Property Manager Information
The table below covers the 18 cities identified in Montgomery County community materials, including cities that extend into an adjoining county. Where a city-specific multifamily rule has been verified, it is stated directly. Otherwise, the table uses “Local verification required” rather than treating the absence of a readily located ordinance as proof that no local requirement exists.
| City | Recycling / Service Status | Relevant Property Manager Information | Official / Regulatory Resource |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dayton | No general apartment-specific onsite recycling mandate established in the City sources reviewed. Verify City-service eligibility for the specific property. | Confirm whether the property is a qualifying Dayton waste-collection customer and whether City recycling carts are available for its service configuration. Maintain adequate onsite trash/recycling capacity and a separate procedure for unit turns, abandonment, evictions, move-outs, and contractor waste. Dayton states that eviction, move-out, and foreclosure material is the property owner's responsibility rather than City bulk collection. |
Dayton Recycling
Bulk Waste |
| Kettering | Verified service distinction: Kettering's single-hauler requirement does not apply to multifamily or commercial properties. | Multifamily owners/managers should independently confirm and maintain the property's trash and recycling collection arrangement. Review dumpster location, enclosure cleanliness, capacity, pickup frequency, bulky-item procedures, and exterior property-maintenance rules. Do not assume the City's single-family collection contract automatically covers apartment communities. | Kettering Property Maintenance Standards |
| Vandalia | Verified municipal-contract structure: current City contract materials include both single-family and multifamily residences. | Containerized multifamily properties are served through dumpsters under the City's contracted service framework. Current contract specifications state that containerized multifamily units generally do not participate in the standard curbside recycling program. Property managers should verify current dumpster allocation, collection frequency, recycling options, contamination requirements, and contractor procedures with the City/current collection contractor. | Vandalia Refuse Contract Specifications |
| West Carrollton | Municipal waste-service framework applies. Current code addresses individual residences, including units in apartment or housing complexes, and includes recycling in the City's refuse-service framework. | Confirm the specific collection/container arrangement serving the property. West Carrollton code also addresses sanitary maintenance of dumpsters and private-hauler containers. Property managers should keep containers closed/maintained as required, prevent nuisance conditions, and coordinate recycling instructions with the actual serving program. | West Carrollton Code |
| Huber Heights | Local verification required. Do not infer multifamily eligibility solely from residential single-hauler information. | Confirm whether the property's unit count and container configuration fall within the current municipal collection contract or require a separate service agreement. Verify dumpster/container placement, recycling availability, bulky-item rules, and nuisance/property-maintenance requirements. | City of Huber Heights |
| Miamisburg | Local verification required. Confirm current multifamily refuse and recycling rules. | Review the property's actual trash/recycling provider, collection schedule, commercial-container requirements, enclosure/site standards, bulky-item procedures, and contamination expectations. Confirm before assuming residential curbside programs apply to apartments. | City of Miamisburg |
| Englewood | Local verification required. Municipal collection and contract rules should be checked for the property. | Confirm whether the multifamily property participates in the City's current contracted collection system or needs a separate arrangement. Verify recycling availability, dumpster capacity, enclosure access, bulky-item handling, and current accepted materials. | City of Englewood |
| Centerville | Local verification required. Centerville extends beyond Montgomery County; confirm the property's jurisdiction and service district first. | Verify the exact property location, serving hauler/municipal program, recycling availability, container standards, bulky-item process, and property-maintenance obligations. For properties near county boundaries, do not assume Montgomery County special-waste eligibility without confirming the property/resident address. | City of Centerville |
| Trotwood | Local verification required. Verify current collection contract and municipal-code requirements. | Confirm trash and recycling service responsibility, dumpster/container specifications, collection frequency, bulky-item rules, and nuisance/property-maintenance standards. Maintain documented procedures for overflow and illegal dumping. | City of Trotwood |
| Oakwood | Local verification required. Confirm apartment/multifamily eligibility separately from residential programs. | Verify the property's waste/recycling arrangement, container location and screening, collection frequency, bulky-item rules, and local property-maintenance expectations. Keep common waste areas sanitary and document recurring issues. | City of Oakwood |
| Riverside | Local verification required. Confirm current municipal collection and multifamily applicability. | Determine whether service is municipal/contracted or separately arranged. Confirm recycling options, container upkeep, enclosure access, bulky-item procedures, and illegal-dumping/property-maintenance provisions. | City of Riverside |
| Moraine | Local verification required. Do not confuse proximity to the County transfer facility with municipal apartment-service eligibility. | Verify the property's normal waste/recycling service independently from the Montgomery County Transfer & Recycling Facility. County resident programs and paid facility disposal are not substitutes for required property-level collection. Confirm local enclosure, access, and property-maintenance requirements. | City of Moraine |
| Clayton | Local verification required. Confirm current multifamily collection and recycling arrangements. | Verify the serving waste/recycling provider, container capacity, enclosure standards, service frequency, bulky-item procedures, and current municipal property-maintenance rules. Do not infer apartment eligibility from single-family collection information. | City of Clayton |
| Union | Local verification required. Confirm collection service and code requirements applicable to the property. | Review the property's waste/recycling contract, dumpster/container specifications, pickup frequency, bulky-item handling, and local nuisance/property-maintenance requirements. Align resident instructions with the actual hauler's accepted materials. | City of Union |
| Brookville | Local verification required. Confirm multifamily eligibility separately from ordinary residential service. | Verify municipal/contracted collection eligibility, recycling service, container standards, bulky-item requirements, and local nuisance/property-maintenance provisions. Keep property-generated material separate from resident-only County programs. | City of Brookville |
| Germantown | Local verification required. Confirm current apartment and commercial collection arrangements. | Review trash and recycling contracts, dumpster/container capacity, service frequency, enclosure access, bulky-item procedures, and current municipal code. Do not characterize voluntary recycling as mandatory without a verified ordinance. | City of Germantown |
| Carlisle | Local verification required. Carlisle extends across county boundaries; verify property jurisdiction first. | Confirm whether the property address lies in Montgomery County and identify the serving collection program. Review multifamily trash/recycling responsibility, container standards, bulky-item procedures, and local property-maintenance rules. | City of Carlisle |
| Springboro | Local verification required. Springboro extends into Montgomery County; verify the property address, county, and municipal service arrangement. | Confirm whether the property receives municipal/contracted collection or maintains separate service. Verify recycling eligibility, container/enclosure standards, bulky-item procedures, and which county's resident special-waste programs apply to the property's residents. | City of Springboro |

Montgomery County Solid Waste | Hours & Disposal Rates | Household Hazardous Waste
Dayton & Montgomery County Enforcement / Cost Snapshot
- No countywide recycling-specific apartment fine asserted: the sources reviewed do not establish a Montgomery County-wide penalty imposed merely because every apartment property does not offer onsite recycling.
- Dayton: waste, nuisance, litter, bulk-disposal, and property-maintenance rules can still apply independently of whether a recycling mandate exists. Do not describe those rules as a recycling-specific fine unless the actual ordinance says so.
- Municipal penalties vary: do not apply Dayton fine amounts, offense classifications, daily-offense provisions, or nuisance remedies to another Montgomery County city without checking that municipality's current code.
- APC: the Annual Property Charge is an assessment supporting Solid Waste District services and appears through the applicable property assessment/tax-bill process; it is not a recycling citation or hauler fee.
- Facility charges: trash, construction/demolition debris, commercial yard waste, appliances, and other materials may be subject to separate County disposal rates.
- Risk-management practice: maintain hauler contracts, service logs, container maps, photographs, resident notices, contamination records, bulk procedures, and corrective-action documentation.
Dayton & Montgomery County Multifamily Waste / Recycling Checklist
| Task | Action / Recommendation | Property Manager Documentation | Helpful Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☑ Confirm Jurisdiction | Verify the actual municipality and county for the property before applying Dayton, Montgomery County, or another city's rules. This is especially important for cities that cross county boundaries. | Property address, parcel record, municipality, county, applicable municipal contact. | Montgomery County Community Profiles |
| ☑ Confirm Service Type | Determine whether the property receives municipal service, contracted municipal service, or a privately arranged collection service. Do not assume all multifamily communities within the County follow one model. | Hauler contract, City account information, dumpster/cart inventory, service schedule. | Montgomery County Solid Waste |
| ☑ Review APC Classification | For qualifying 4+ unit multifamily properties, review the current Montgomery County APC classification and per-unit rate. Confirm the County's parcel/value eligibility rules. | Unit count, tax bill, APC classification, County correspondence if disputed. | Annual Property Charge |
| ☑ Right-Size Containers & Frequency | Use actual property waste generation, occupancy, move-in/move-out periods, contamination levels, overflow history, and hauler pickup schedules. Do not rely on an unsupported generic gallons-per-unit standard. | Container inventory, pickup history, overflow photos, service tickets, contamination records. | Recycling & Special Collections |
| ☑ Review Enclosure / Container Rules | Before adding or relocating dumpsters, compactors, recycling containers, or collection points, verify applicable municipal site-plan, screening, fire/access, zoning, and property-maintenance requirements. | Site plan, enclosure measurements, container map, vendor specifications, municipal approvals. | Verify with the applicable municipality. |
| ☑ Coordinate Recycling Service | Confirm whether recycling is municipal, contract-based, or separately purchased. Match resident education to the materials accepted by the property's actual hauler/processor. | Recycling contract, accepted-material list, service schedule, contamination policy. | Dayton Recycling |
| ☑ Separate Resident & Property Waste | Do not route maintenance chemicals, contractor material, landscaping waste, office electronics, renovation waste, or management-generated material through resident-only County programs without confirming eligibility. | Special-waste policy, contractor requirements, commercial vendor list. | County HHW Rules |
| ☑ Create Bulk / Unit-Turn Procedure | Maintain written procedures for furniture, mattresses, appliances, abandoned property, evictions, move-outs, contractor debris, and unit-turn cleanouts. Do not assume resident bulk service covers property-generated material. | Bulk policy, vendor agreement, resident notices, unit-turn checklist, disposal receipts. | Dayton Bulk Waste |
| ☑ Secure Facility Loads | When transporting material to the Montgomery County facility, follow the County's current tarp/load-securement rule. Open truck and trailer loads generally must be fully secured. | Vendor/employee transport policy, contractor instructions. | 2026 Tarp Requirement |
| ☑ Resident Education | Provide residents with property-specific instructions covering trash, recycling, cardboard, bulky items, electronics, HHW, move-out waste, and any doorstep collection procedures. | Move-in materials, door hangers, email/text notices, signage, resident portal instructions. | County Recycling Resources |
| ☑ Monitor & Document | Track overflow, contamination, illegal dumping, missed pickups, bulky-item problems, and corrective actions. Use this information to adjust service and demonstrate active management. | Photos, route/service records, maintenance logs, vendor tickets, resident communications. | Montgomery County |
Compliance-Supporting Waste & Recycling Operations
A structured doorstep trash and recycling program can help property management standardize resident set-outs, reduce contamination and overflow, improve communication, and maintain better operating documentation.
Important distinction: an onsite valet or doorstep program does not replace the property's municipal or contracted hauling arrangement and does not independently establish compliance with a municipal waste or recycling requirement.
Property owners/managers remain responsible for confirming the applicable municipal rules, service contracts, container/enclosure requirements, disposal restrictions, and property-specific approvals.
Want a property-specific review of your Dayton or Montgomery County waste and recycling workflow? Request a Free Compliance & Convenience Audit . We can review resident set-outs, container capacity, recycling access, service frequency, enclosure conditions, contamination controls, bulk procedures, and operating documentation while helping identify requirements that should be confirmed with the municipality and the property's authorized waste/recycling provider.
