Rumpke receives recycling contract in Bowling Green, Ohio

The city of Bowling Green, Ohio, has changed recycling processors and expanded its list of recyclable materials. Cincinnati-based Rumpke Waste & Recycling was awarded a three-year recycling contract with the city, effective July 14.

Bowling Green’s recyclables will be shipped to Rumpke’s Sandusky Recycling Transfer Station in Clyde, Ohio, before being transported to the company’s Columbus, Ohio, material recovery facility (MRF), the Rumpke Recycling & Resource Center, for processing, allowing for a larger accepted materials list.

Phoenix-based Republic Services previously served as Bowling Green’s recycling processor.

The recyclable materials list has expanded to include clear thermoformed plastic containers, paper coffee cups and clear plastic cups. The program also accepts glass bottles and jars; plastic bottles and containers; aluminum and steel cans; and paper products, including newspaper, paper food containers and corrugated cardboard and paperboard.

According to the city of Bowling Green, this change will not impact the frequency of recycling pickups, and city trucks will continue collecting materials weekly.

“As one of North America’s largest recyclers, Rumpke is excited to process recycling for Bowling Green,” says Jeff Meyers, east area communications manager at Rumpke. “More than 70 percent of what we throw away can be recycled. We are looking forward to collaborating with Bowling Green to keep more waste out of landfills and put more of it to good use through recycling.”

The $100 million Rumpke Recycling & Resource Center opened in August 2024 and can process up to 250,000 tons of materials per year. The company says it is the largest and most technologically advanced MRF in North America, processing material from more than 50 Ohio counties.
