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 for a small charge to the resident. Both items should remain at the residence as they are the property of Rumpke and CSI.

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 all 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
