RESIDENTIAL GARBAGE
COLLECTION
(Q) Who can answer questions
dealing with garbage and recycling pick-up from my house?
(A) Your waste hauler is likely either
Rumpke at (513) 851-0122, or CSI
at (513) 771-4200.
RECYCLING
(Q) Since curbside recycling is not
available to me, where can I find
the nearest recycling center?
(A) Aluminum, steel, copper and tin
metal cans, plastic bottles and
jars, brown, green and clear glass,
mixed paper and cardboard can
be recycled at area drop-offs usually available to you 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, at the locations listed on pages 1 & 2.
(Q) Since my yogurt or butter containers have the #5 recycling
symbol on the bottom, can they
be recycled?
(A) Unfortunately these containers
cannot yet be economically recycled by the local recycling facility. These containers can be
mailed to Preserve Gimme 5 to be
recycled. To save on postage, #5
containers can also be dropped off
at any Whole Foods Store.
(Q) Can Styrofoam be recycled?
(A) Because there aren’t any styrofoam recyclers in the area, Styrofoam recycling is limited in southwest Ohio. However consumers
can find ways to reuse styrofoam
or donate used packing peanuts to
a shipping store. The Alliance of
Foam Packaging Recycling has a
mail-in program found at the following website http://
www.epspackaging.org/info.html
USED FURNITURE
Oftentimes, used furniture can be donated to your local charity. However,
some furniture is not suitable to be reused. Most waste haulers offer large
item pick-up services to their customers if the resident calls ahead to
schedule the pick-up.
