Rumpke Waste & Recycling

Rumpke Waste & Recycling is a waste management company that provides residential, commercial, and industrial trash collection and recycling services. The firm operates primarily in the Midwest United States, with a notable presence in the Cincinnati metropolitan area where its trash collection services continued without interruption during a recent cybersecurity incident. In addition to curbside pickup, Rumpke manages recycling processing facilities that handle materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals. The company also owns and operates landfill sites that accept non‑recyclable waste for final disposal. Its services are marketed to municipalities, businesses, and individual households seeking reliable waste diversion and disposal solutions.

Rumpke is a privately held, family‑owned business that operates across the Ohio‑Kentucky‑Indiana tri‑state area. The company emphasizes environmental stewardship by investing in modern recycling technologies and landfill gas‑to‑energy projects that convert methane emissions into usable electricity. Its operational footprint includes numerous transfer stations, recycling centers, and hauling fleets that enable it to serve a broad customer base. While the October 2024 cybersecurity incident prompted an external forensic investigation, the firm confirmed that no customer payment data or processing systems were compromised and that essential collection routes remained active. Rumpke’s commitment to maintaining service continuity during the incident underscores its focus on operational resilience and customer trust.
