Are there any restrictions on the size of items for bulk pickup?

Asked 5 months ago
Rumpke Waste Services generally has specific guidelines regarding the size and type of items that can be placed for bulk pickup. Typically, bulk items are those that do not fit into standard trash containers, and these items might include furniture, appliances, and large cardboard boxes. However, it is important to note that there are usually restrictions in place regarding the size, weight, and the total amount of bulk items placed out for collection. For example, Rumpke often limits the size of individual pieces to a certain dimension, such as items not exceeding a specific length, often around four to six feet, and weight limits are also standard, often around fifty to seventy-five pounds per item. Items that are oversized or cannot be safely lifted by the collection staff may not be accepted. Additionally, hazardous materials, construction debris, and certain electronics may also be restricted from bulk collection. For the most accurate and current information, visiting Rumpke's official website may provide further clarification on these guidelines and any updates pertinent to specific locations.
