Rumpke Waste & Recycling in Mansfield is a local recycling center where residents drop off common recyclables and try to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors, contractors, and anyone with a load usually comes through here for sorting and drop-offs.
Drive up Newman Street and follow the lot toward the entrance booth and scales; the site has industrial-sized bins and piles, so it feels like a working yard rather than a tidy storefront. There’s a scale to cross and loads are typically weighed, so prepare to stop twice - in and out. Common recyclables like cardboard, paper, plastics, glass and metal are handled here, and some locations run special programs for things like electronics or bulky items. The recycling containers are grouped and labeled, and vehicles usually pull up to specific collection points to unload.

Before You Go
- Bring materials sorted by type and break down boxes - it saves time unloading and keeps traffic moving.
- Have loose items contained or bagged; loose debris can be a hassle and slows the process for everyone.
- Expect lines on weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends; a midweek or late-afternoon run tends to be quicker.
