During the 4th quarter of 2025, the Ohio EPA approved a small increase to the Montgomery County Solid Waste District's Generation Fee, which affects communities across the county.

Because this is a required pass-through fee in our contract with Rumpke, this will increase quarterly collection rates by $0.06 per quarter. This will be reflected on the trash bill beginning Janauary 1, 2026. The rates above inclide the increase.

Bulk Pickup

Rumpke will collect bulk items such as appliances, mattresses, box springs, sofas, large furniture items, etc. weekly on your service day. Upholstered items including sofas and mattresses must be wrapped in a sealable plastic.

Residents are permitted to place three bulk items each week at the curb.

Appliances containing Freon require special handling. Freon removal is required prior to pick-up.

Residents do not need to call ahead to schedule bulk pickup.

Recycling

Recycling is picked up on a bi-weekly basis, at no additional charge, the same day as your regular trash is collected. A recycle tote is provided at no additional charge, if you do not have a recycling tote, or wish to use more than one recycling tote please contact Rumpke at 1-800-828-8171 to request an additional tote.
