Rumpke Waste & Recycling Adjusts Operations Due to Extreme Heat Residential service may begin early the week of August 31

DAYTON, Ohio–August 31, 2026—Rumpke crews may be out early for the remainder of the week to service as many customers as possible before the area experiences the forecasted extreme heat.

“Safety is our top priority,” said Vice President Jake Rumpke. “The high temperatures that are predicted make our job more dangerous. To help protect our team members from heat-related illnesses and ensure customers still receive timely collection, we must adjust our operations.”

Rumpke reminds customers that trash and recycling should always be placed at the curb in the evening before their scheduled service day.

Placing material at the curb the night before scheduled collection helps prevent missed collections when start times are adjusted for weather and traffic conditions.

“Earlier start times prevent service delays for our customers and protect our team from the high temperatures,” said District Manager Kevyn Vasquez. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.”
