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.
