I RECYCLED.
NOW WHAT?
Follow your recyclables on their journey to becoming a whole new product!
+ Let's Get Started
Kick it to the curb.
What happens once you've finished off that box of cereal and placed it in your recycling bin? Follow Beary on his curbside recycling journey!
Have an item that isn't curbside recyclable? Visit our Recycling and Reuse Search Tool for a local drop-off.
Sort it all out.
After the hard-working truck drivers pick up your curbside recycling, the journey then continues to the Material Recovery Facility. Here, items will go through a series of highly specialized machines that sort items to prepare them for their end market.
Make it brand new.
In our last stop on the recycling journey, we make our way to Greif - one of the 95% of end market outlets that fall within a 250 mile radius of Rumpke. Here, Beary will go from a cereal box to a brand new paperboard product.
What can I recycle
at home?
Not only do we want to keep our recycling streams clean, we want to make sure our workers stay safe.

+ HEFTY RENEW PROGRAM
Rumpke and Hefty have partnered to expand the list of items that can be recycled in your curbside bin through the Hefty ReNew program. Through this program, residents and businesses can now recycle plastic food bags and liners, as well as bubble wrap, foam block packaging, and much more. Please rinse/wipe out food residue before recycling.
