Effective July 1, 2025, the City of Dayton will switch to Rumpke Waste & Recycling to provide these services to residents

 

New Trash, Recycling Service Provider Effective July 1, 2025

The City of Dayton, Ky., is partnering with Rumpke Waste & Recycling to provide residents with weekly trash and recycling collection. Recycling is now collected the same day as trash. Please see map below for collection days.

Carts

Rumpke is providing all households with a 95-gallon brown trash cart and a 65-gallon green recycling cart.* Trash should be bagged and placed in the brown trash cart. Recycling should be placed loose in the green cart.

Residents are encouraged to use Rumpke trash carts for collection. Recycling must be placed in Rumpke recycling carts for collection. If you would like Rumpke to remove your old cart from the previous service provider, please call 1-800-828-8171 or email service.cin@rumpke.com.

Carts should be placed at the curb the night before scheduled collection.

*Smaller carts are available upon request after July 2025. Contact Rumpke at 1-800-828-8171 to request.

Large Items

Residents can place one large item per week at the curb on collection day (furniture, appliances, etc.) Please contact Rumpke at least 48-business hours in advance to alert of the large item collection and review preparation guidelines.
