Yard Waste Program

On a weekly basis, the Village of Greenhills picks up tree limbs, branches, Christmas trees, hedge trimmings, all of which must be no more than 2 - 6 feet in length.  The Village does not collect root balls.

Greenhills DOES NOT collect tree debris resulting from the removal of a tree by a contractor.  Brush cannot be brought into Greenhills from locations outside the Village and/or from worksites. If someone is abusing this service, please inform us.

The Village offers a fall (October-December) and spring (one week in April as posted) loose leaf collection. Specific collection schedules will be posted on this web site, so check back.

Rumpke offers a separate collection service for residential yard waste on the same day as your regular garbage collection.  In order to participate in the Rumpke yard waste collection you can mingle your yard waste with your household waste.by bagging it together for set out.

Welcome to the Greenhills website!

Greenhills is a community of 3,600 people nestled within 2,133 acres of Winton Woods. Originated by an Act of Congress in 1935, Greenhills was built by the Federal Government to provide housing for moderate income families. Construction was complete in 1938, and the first residents moved in. The original neighborhoods and many of the original families are still here today, many of them residing in a National Historic District.

Family-centered living, supported by this community’s design, provides a safe and wholesome environment, with schools and churches, shopping, a library, post office, and a municipal pool and golf course all within walking distance. Our Greenbelt (a surrounding border of undeveloped land), tree-lined streets, interior parks, and proximity to Winton Woods offer a natural barrier from big city pressures. Greenhills maintains a unique small-town atmosphere, where neighbors are friendly and residents have a say in how things are done.

Greenhills welcomes its residents and businesses, and encourages you to become involved in your local government and to support some of the many community groups working to enhance the quality of life in our village. Your ideas and your participation are of value to your Village. For further information, please call the Greenhills Village offices.

Again, welcome to Greenhills.

Sincerely,

David Moore, Mayor
