Waste and recycling collection for all residences is provided by a private waste collection company.  Rumpke or CSI will provide each single-family residence with a Rumpke or CSI owned 96-gallon waste wheeler receptacle (used with an automated truck) and recycling bin, both at no charge to the resident. Both items should remain at the residence as they are the property of Rumpke and CSI.

 

Recycling Drop-Off Locations (open to the public) - In addition to curbside recycling, provided free to Sycamore Township residents in single-family areas, free recycling drop-off locations serve the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Containers are marked for newspaper and magazines, glass, plastic, and food and beverage cans. Any questions, please call (513) 791-8447. Drop-off recycling locations include:

8540 Kenwood Road (behind the Township Administration building)

Recycling Guidelines↓

*Please rinse all bottles and jars, and remove the lids. There is no need to remove labels, since they disintegrate in the recycling process.

*Flatten alt cans and plastic bottles to conserve space. Please break down cardboard to 3'x3' sections, and flatten all boxes.

*Place all recyclables together in your bin. Thanks to Rumpke's single stream processing method, all recyclables are mechanically sorted at the processing facility.

*We strive to accept as many items as possible.  We can not collect certain items because of contamination issues
