Yard Waste Recycling In Central Ohio

It’s Not Just Our Plants That Are Green

Kurtz Bros. has worked for more than 30 years with industry leaders to develop processes and procedures that take various waste materials and provide a beneficial reuse, or ‘green’ alternative, to landfilling. Our approach has been to innovate and develop technologies that give us the ability to accept these materials in a coordinated way, ensuring we meet all regulatory requirements. Our consulting services include support to the generators and haulers to help manage the waste with logistics and transportation.

We accept yard waste at all Kurtz Bros Central Ohio locations, EXCEPT our Alexandria location which accepts sod/edgings only.  

Please note that beginning October 1, 2025 ALL customers, including homeowners, will be required to pay a fee to drop off yard waste.  The fee is based on vehicle size and will range from $15-$60 per load.  Customers need to check in at office first before heading to yard waste lot.
