    City of Columbus Yard Waste Program Ends

    Rumpke’s residential yard waste removal contract with the City of Columbus expires Jan. 31 without a new agreement in place.

    The contract called for Rumpke to provide weekly curbside yard waste collection for all Columbus residents. Yard waste typically includes branches, tree trimmings, grass clippings, leaves and other organic material generated during general landscaping activities.
    “Rumpke and the City of Columbus were successful in diverting large volumes of material from the landfill through the yard waste program,” said Andrew Rumpke, vice president. “We truly appreciated the support of the program, both from residents and City officials, and we look forward to maintaining a good working relationship through the curbside recycling program.”

    In 2007 and 2008, Rumpke collected more than 55,000 tons of yard waste from Columbus residents, including nearly 3,000 tons of debris after the hurricane-like windstorm in September 2008.

    Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. is one of the nation’s largest privately owned, residential and commercial waste and recycling firms. Rumpke provides service to areas of Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana. The Rumpke business began in 1932, and its regional operation is located in Columbus, Ohio.
