The City is Transitioning from Republic Services to Rumpke for Residental Waste Collection: Republic wants to do their part to ensure a smooth transition for all residents to the new service provider, Rumpke, whose service will begin on July 1. With this in mind, your last recycling and waste collection by Republic Services will be on your regular service day beginning on June 24th through June 30th. It will be paramount that you have your recycling and waste at the curb on the day of collection before they begin their routes as they will not be returning to collect recycling or waste that was not at the curb when their drivers arrive at the property. During this final collection they will also retrieve all Republic Services branded totes from the curb/roadway easement the same day as the final collection so even if you have no trash or recyling, pleae set your cans out for retrieval.

County Attorney Stacy Tapke’s Government Academy Accepting Applications

Kenton County Government Academy

NOW ACCEPTING PARTICIPANTS FOR 2019

As an outreach service to the constituents of Kenton County, citizens are invited to take an inside look into the workings of their county government by participating in the Kenton County Government Academy.

Beginning early January, this ten week course will educate participants about all facets of county government. The program features presentations from local elected officials and administrators, and provides unique “behind-the-scenes” tours of vital governmental facilities.  Some of the topics and visits will include: Fiscal Court, Judicial Branch, Planning and Development Services, School Districts, Health District, Library, Animal Shelter, Local fire and police departments, Kenton County Detention Center, Northern Kentucky Water District, Sanitation District No., Cincinnati/Northern KY International Airport, and much more!

“Our goal is to continue a process where the average citizen will have a clear understanding where their tax dollars go, and how the money gets spent.” said Kenton County Attorney Stacy Tapke.  

Over 250 Kenton County residents have graduated from this program. While all have gained valuable knowledge, some have gone on to become city council and committee members, volunteers, and leaders within their own communities. For more information, contact Susan Topmiller at 859.815.1664 or [email protected]
