Rumpke Waste & Recycling

819 Island Rd, Circleville, OH 43113

(800) 828-8171

Rumpke Waste & Recycling on Island Road in Circleville is the local drop-off for household recyclables and small hauls. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard boxes after a move to bags of bottles and cans. It’s the sort of place people swing by when cleaning out a garage or clearing recycling from the kitchen.

The site looks like a working yard with an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; vehicles typically pause to get weighed before moving on to the drop-off containers. Large roll-off bins and concrete bays hold the different materials, and centers like this commonly accept paper, cardboard, glass, many plastics, and metals. Some locations may offer electronics or appliance drop-off events, shredding days, or seasonal bulky-item programs, so those are worth checking locally. Weekends - especially spring cleanup season - often have backups, so expect a line at busy times.

Before You Go

  • Flatten and bundle cardboard, and keep loose paper in bags so it doesn’t blow away or slow unloading.
  • Pull up to the scale/booth first, then head straight to the appropriate bin; having items pre-sorted by material saves a lot of time.
  • Avoid weekend and spring-cleanup peak times if possible; early weekday mornings usually move faster and are less crowded.
