Rumpke Waste & Recycling

There are companies you work with. There are companies you see every day without thinking about them. Rumpke is both.

Since 1932, the Rumpke family has been solving one of the most persistent challenges in any growing community: what do you do with what’s left behind? What started as a family business in Greater Cincinnati has grown into one of the most recognized names in waste and recycling across the Midwest, serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and West Virginia, with more than 15 regional landfills and 25 transfer stations supporting the operation.

Rumpke’s services span the full scope of waste management: curbside trash and recycling, dumpster rental, junk removal, yard waste, portable restroom rentals, compactor rental, hydraulics services, and in-plant waste solutions for industrial facilities. For construction, the industry most represented at the Legacy Clay Classic, Rumpke is frequently the company managing the roll-off on site, the recycling stream from demolition materials, and the long-term waste contracts for the buildings that go up after the dirt work is done.

The company has recently been recognized as a Platinum 2026 US Best Managed Company and earned Gold status for glass recycling efforts, honors that reflect a sustained commitment to environmental responsibility that goes well beyond compliance. Their sustainability roadmap covers hauling, recycling, landfills, and circular economy initiatives, backed by genuine investment in the communities they serve.

Nearly a century in, Rumpke remains a family business, Cincinnati-grown, deeply rooted, and as present in the daily life of this region as any company in it.
