Windy Hills Garbage, Recycling & Yard Waste Collection
Normal Garbage Pick-up: Tuesday
Rumpke has provided a brown 95 gallon recycling cart for weekly trash pickup.
Recycling Pick-up: Tuesday (Must be at the curb) Rumpke has provided a green 95 gallon recycling cart for weekly recycling only. These cans are NOT for garbage, weekly recycling only. Other waste will contaminate the recycling and will force Rumpke to put the contaminated recycling in with the garbage.
The recycling and trash cans will be collected at the curb. Cans need to be placed at the end of the drive opposite the paper/mail box FACING the street. These cans are picked up by an automatic lift arm on the truck. Oversize cardboard boxes need to be broken down so that they fit in the recycling receptacle. There can be nothing on top of the cans since they are picked up by the automatic lift arm.
Also, remember the packing that is often included in the cardboard boxes, such as plastic bags/pellets, peanuts, etc., is NOT recyclable. Please remove the packing before placing the cardboard in the can.
Other types of recycling receptacles cannot be used because the truck lift arm cannot pick them up. Overflow recycling cannot be left on the curb because it also cannot be picked up. If you purchased one of the blue cans from the hardware store, it can be used but since it is NOT industrial grade, it might be damaged by Rumpke equipment.
Yard Waste Pick-up: Mondays from March thru November and alternate weeks during the winter months, December – February. (No yard waste collection at the Condominiums.)
Contact Numbers: 1-800-828-8171 ext 8757 for missed pick-up or to schedule large items.
