Rumpke Waste Collection
Automated Waste Collection
The City of Montgomery has partnered with Rumpke to provide a futuristic approach to trash collection through the use of Rumpke’s fully automated collection system.
The automated collection is a technologically advanced system of refuse collection and disposal. The system is called “automated” because a refuse truck, equipped with a mechanical/robotic arm, automatically lifts and empties special refuse containers without the driver ever leaving the cab of the truck. The system requires a special “waste wheeler” container to permit lifting by the mechanical arm. The entire process takes about 10 seconds per stop.
The automated system will help stabilize cost, allow Rumpke to collect garbage more efficiently, while improving safety. The traditional method is labor intensive and puts workers at high risk for being struck by a motorist
Type of Container Used in the Automated System
The City of Montgomery and Rumpke have provided each residence (single and two family residences) with one 96 or one 65 gallon waste wheeler, free of charge.
The waste wheelers are designed for use with the automated collection system and provide:
- Easy Mobility: the 96 and 65 gallon waste wheelers are mounted on wheels for easy mobility.
- Large Storage Area: a 96 gallon waste wheeler holds as much as four to six, 33 gallon bags of household refuse (an average family produces about five bags per week).
- Sturdy Construction: Waste wheelers are composed of sturdy plastic to withstand nature's elements.
- Attached Lid: The hinged lid avoids leakage, spills and animal tampering.
- Imprinted Serial Number: The waste wheelers are imprinted with a serial number and assigned to a specific address. If you move, please leave the waste wheeler for use by the next resident.
Replacement of Damaged Waste Wheelers
Upon verification by Rumpke, damaged waste wheelers will be replaced at no charge to citizens. Rumpke reserves the right to charge residents for waste wheelers that have been damaged by negligence or abuse.
Using the Automated System
All waste wheelers, recycling and yard waste containers must be place at the curb the night before your scheduled pick up day.
Remember that all household trash must be contained in the waste wheeler. Do not use your waste wheeler for disposal of brick, concrete, sand or other building materials. These items should be hauled away by your building contractor.
Remember not to block the sidewalk!
To avoid interference with the automated truck collection-arm, your waste wheeler should be a least 4 feet from objects on either side, including parked vehicles, fire hydrants, mailboxes, and light poles.
Make sure the waste wheeler handle faces away from the street and toward your home.
The lid should be closed to avoid spillage.
Recycling bins and yard waste containers should be placed on the other side of the driveway.

Additional waste wheeler can be leased or purchased for the following by calling Rumpke at 742-2900.
- 96 gallon waste wheelers can be leased for $3.50 per month or it can be purchased for $70 plus tax.

Rumpke will collect an unlimited amount of trash as long as it is in a waste wheeler.
Recycling
Montgomery participates in the RecycleBank program. RecycleBank is a new recycling program that rewards residents based on the amount of material they recycle. It is similar to a frequent buyer program available through many businesses—but for recycling!
