The City of Painesville understands and shares the frustration of residents who have experienced missed trash or recycling collections in recent weeks. We recently received notice from Republic Waste that there would be a two-day delay. The delay is a result of the Memorial Day weekend and the is a significant amount of waste being placed at the curb.

Under the current contract, waste, recycling and yard waste collection service remains the responsibility of Republic Services through June 26th. Residents experiencing service issues should contact Republic directly to report missed collections Republic customer service can be contacted at (216) 441-6300. Due to a backlog of calls, you can also report it on their website at:
