Rumpke will collect bulky items on your regular service day.  You may place bulky items out for collection on one day during each calendar month at no charge.  There will be a charge for collection of bulky items on additional days in the same month.  Any item placed outside the trash cart will be considered a bulky item.  As a courtesy, please contact Rumpke in advance when you have bulky items for pickup.

• Examples of Bulky Items:  appliances, carpet, furniture, toys.
• Upholstered items such as sofas and mattresses MUST be wrapped in plastic.
