Uptown Waste Diversion
As most student leases end on July 31st (and begin August 1st), the Uptown community tends to generate a lot of waste at the end of July and beginning of August. However, much of what is tossed can be reused or recycled instead.
To keep what would be waste out of the landfill, the University of Cincinnati and multiple community partners come together in hosting the annual Uptown Waste Diversion.
The 2025 Uptown Waste Diversion will be held July 23rd to August 3rd!
From 10am to 6pm each day, additional trash/recycling dumpsters, electronic recycling, and a donation drop-off are available at 121 East McMillan Street. Bring your unwanted items that you find while moving out and donate or properly dispose of them.
Thank you to our community partners that make this possible: CUF, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful, Corryville Community Council, City of Cincinnati Environment and Sustainability, Uptown Rental Properties, Towne Properties, Uptown Consortium, Clifton Heights, and Short Vine.
