Millersburg schedules free village clean-up day for bulky waste drop-off
Millersburg gave villagers a free spring drop-off for furniture, mattresses, concrete and other bulky debris at 600 Walkup Street, with several common items barred.
Millersburg gave village households a free chance to clear out bulky waste at the Public Works Department on 600 Walkup Street, where Village Clean-Up Day ran from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 2.
The village said residents could bring household trash, wood, concrete, brick, block, other construction or demolition material, and large items such as furniture, mattresses and metal goods. Dried paint was accepted, and appliances containing Freon were allowed only if the Freon had already been evacuated and the appliance was properly tagged to show it. Liquids, tires, hazardous materials, chemicals, batteries and animal carcasses or parts were not accepted.
The service was free for Kimble Recycling & Disposal customers who live in the Village of Millersburg, and the village said proof of residency could be required. Residents with a physical impairment or handicap could contact the village to arrange pickup of bulk items, extending the event beyond those able to haul debris to the street themselves.
The clean-up day fit a pattern rather than a one-time push. A 2023 calendar entry showed Millersburg holding its annual Clean Up Day on April 22 that year at the same Public Works location, with the same general mix of accepted debris and exclusions. Earlier village minutes also referenced a Clean Up Day set for April 24, with Kimble providing dumpsters and Go Shred on site for shredding. Taken together, those records show the village has treated the event as a recurring spring service tied to neighborhood cleanup and disposal needs that many homes cannot handle on their own.
That service connects directly to the village’s regular trash contract. Millersburg says it contracts with Kimble Recycling and Disposal, Inc. for trash and recycling service, which explains why the clean-up day was limited to Kimble customers living in the village.
The village’s utility department also frames the cleanup effort within a broader maintenance season. Its wastewater system serves Millersburg and portions of Hardy Township, treats more than 500,000 gallons a day and maintains more than 26 miles of collection system. Alongside the clean-up day, the village reminded residents that first-quarter water and sewer bills had been mailed the week of March 30 and were due by April 25, 2026, after the rollout of a new billing system that changed the look of the bills and moved them into regular-sized envelopes instead of postcards.
Residents were also being directed toward the My Millersburg app, launched in January 2024 through GOGov, for notifications and emergency alerts. Holmes County Emergency Management uses WENS for emergency notifications as well, giving the village another channel to reach residents as it pushes cleanup, billing and public-safety information into one spring message.
