GARBAGE - Up to 3 cans of garbage will be picked up in the rear of your home. Any amount over 3 cans must be taken to the street for pickup. Rumpke will collect one large item in addition to the regular household trash. Examples include unwanted furniture, appliances (except for refrigerators), etc. These types of “junk” should be taken to the street the night before pickup (preferably after dark). If you have old carpeting or padding, make sure to tie in bundles of not longer than 4 feet and place curbside. RECYCLING - Bins are to be placed curbside. Be sure to use the lids provided to keep paper from scattering. Following is Rumpke's basic list of recycleable items: Plastic bottles #1-7, Glass bottles and jars, Steel food cans, Aluminum cans, Newspaper, Cardboard (broken down into 3' x 3' or less bundles) - no greasy pizza boxes, Paperboard (i.e. cereal boxes), Office paper, Printer's scrap, Magazines, Phone books.
