Residential Garbage Pickup

Providing a reliable trash collection service is one of our top priorities in Columbus. We know how important it is to keep neighborhoods clean, which is why we offer weekly trash pickups for residents in Columbus.



As a Rumpke customer, it’s recommended to place your garbage at your curbside the night before your scheduled pickup day. (Your collection schedule will be determined based on your address.) We’re happy to help haul large items or extra trash; we just ask that customers call us 24 hours ahead of time so we can prepare. While many household items are fine to throw in your regular trash, remember that Rumpke can’t dispose of household hazardous waste such as batteries, paints, and combustibles.

Residential Recycling

We want to do our part to help the environment, which is why we offer single-stream recycling services for residents in Columbus. You don’t need to sort out the different recyclables; just throw everything in the recycling bin for collection day and we’ll sort it at our facility.



It’s important to know how to recycle right like a pro. Brush up on your knowledge by reading Rumpke’s recycling guidelines.

We know it can feel daunting to come up with a waste management plan, which is why we’re here to make it easy for you. When you call to set up your service, we’ll conduct a waste audit and facility tour so we know what size receptacle would work best for your business.

Commercial Recycling

We want to make it easy for you to set up a recycling plan that works for your business, which is why we offer recycling audits and tailored plans for businesses. Once we know your recycling needs, we can recommend the right size receptacle for your business and establish a pickup schedule. 



Our commercial recycling is single-stream, meaning your team doesn’t have to worry about sorting. Leave that part to us, which we do at our facility before processing.

Roll Off Dumpster Rental 

It’s not uncommon to have a trash load that won’t work for your garbage bin. For example, if you’re in the middle of a big renovation at home, you’ll need something far more robust than your weekly household trash bin. That’s where roll off dumpster rentals come in.



Rumpke offers dumpster rentals in Columbus of various sizes for both residents and business owners. We’ll make junk removal a much easier process with our open-top containers. Just fill it up and we’ll take care of the rest.



Be sure to call us so we can help determine what size bin you need and whether you’ll need a city permit to have it parked at your house or place of business. 

Construction Site Waste Management

The last thing you want at a job site is excess trash laying around. Rumpke can help keep your construction site clean with our heavy-duty open-top dumpsters. Our construction site waste management options are a godsend for job foremen, who want to keep construction humming along without solid waste getting in the way.

Industrial Waste Management

One of the hardest types of waste to remove is industrial waste, which can be harmful to you and your team while also compromising the environment. Don’t let hazardous waste sit around: Call Rumpke to help dispose of contaminated soils, sludge, and non-friable asbestos. We’ll take care of proper removal and keep Columbus free of hazardous waste build-up. 

Hydraulics & Machining

Rumpke is famous for our waste management, but we also offer hydraulics and machining repair and distribution in Columbus. Call us to find out how we can help with getting pre-fabricated parts or customized components.
