Recycling Information

Please help us keep the drop-off locations clear of recycling waste. It's important that all materials be put inside the recycling containers. A new bin style was installed      January 2021 by Rumpke throughout Butler County. This was a corporate decision by Rumpke to address trash contamination that has occurred. It is the hope of Rumpke that providing for a smaller opening in the new bins will result in better, cleaner and less contaminated material.

Acceptable recyclable items include: newspapers, magazines, junk mail, phone books, brown paper bags, office paper, cardboard, paperboard (such as cereal boxes), plastic bottles/jugs, milk cartons/juice boxes (remove lid and straw), glass bottles and food jars, aluminum cans, steel cans and empty aerosol cans (remove tip).

Rumpke is now accepting No. 5 Plastic Tubs, such as yogurt containers, cottage cheese, margarine and whipped topping tubs. Lids are also accepted with the containers. 
*Please note: restaurant plastic take out containers and clam shell containers are not accepted.
