A NOTE ABOUT CURBSIDE RECYCLING
The Hub provides services that fill the gaps in curbside recycling services, therefore we do not accept items that can go into your curbside recycling bin.
For a curbside refresher, check out the first half of our Mini-Hub training video to learn what is accepted in your curbside recycling bin in Cincinnati. For those residents without access to curbside recycling at your residence, various drop-off locations are located around Cincinnati for your use.
