Commercial Trash Cart Service

As part of the City’s new trash program all trash placed at the curb must be completely contained inside your trash cart. Trash placed at the curb in non-Rumpke issued containers or loose, may result in fines or additional charges.

All trash should be placed inside your container. The container lid should close tightly with all materials inside. The area in front of and beside the container should be free of obstructions.

If your business currently shares a container with another business, please contact Rumpke at 1-877-786-7537 to set-up billing arrangements to split the bill.
