Lancaster, OH trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Monday.

Monday is what one Lancaster address returned on October 26, 2026.

All trash and yard waste must be at the curb no later than 7:30 a.m. on pickup day.

Carts must be set out at the curb or alley by 7:30 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day and removed from the curb or alley by 7:00 p.m. that same day.

Place the cart at the street edge or alley with the lid opening facing the street and the wheels toward the residence.

Keep the cart at least three feet from any tree, pole or mailbox and at least ten feet from parked cars, with three feet between multiple carts.

All trash goes inside the cart with the lid closed; nothing may be stacked on top, and no other bags, cans or containers are picked up without an additional charge.
